PHP Multidimensional Array implode?-CodePudding

I have an array

'Somethings' => 
    array (
      'Something' => 
      array (
        0 => 
        array (
          '@att' => 
          array (
            'Code' => '0',
          ),
          'Fruit' => 'Apple',
        ),
        1 => 
        array (
          '@att' => 
          array (
            'Code' => '3',
          ),
          'Fruit' => 'Banana',
        ),
        2 => 
        array (
          '@att' => 
          array (
            'Code' => '1',
          ),
          'Fruit' => 'Pear',
        )

The list continues. What would be the best way to transform (implode I assume) all "Fruits" as comma separated OR in a new array containing only the name elements?

Fruits are a child of @att codes which is the only problem.

Thanks for the help!

This is as simple as just iterating through the array and grabbing each fruit under the Fruit index, then inserting it to a separate array.

$fruits = [
    "somethings" => [
        "something" => [
            0 => [
                "@att" => [
                    "code" => "0"
                ],
                "Fruit" => "Apple",
            ],
            1 => [
                "@att" => [
                    "code" => "3"
                ],
                "Fruit" => "Banana",
            ],
            2 => [
                "@att" => [
                    "code" => "1"
                ],
                "Fruit" => "Pear",
            ]
        ],
    ],
];

$sortedFruits = [];

// Iterate through the fruits array and add each fruit into the sortedFruits list.
foreach ($fruits["somethings"]["something"] as $fruit) {
    array_push($sortedFruits, $fruit["Fruit"]);
}

var_dump($sortedFruits);
/*
 * Output:
 * array (size=3)
 *      0 => string 'Apple' (length=5)
 *      1 => string 'Banana' (length=6)
 *      2 => string 'Pear' (length=4)
 */

Or to get the values comma separated, PHP has a built in implode function:

implode(",", $sortedFruits)

We can also use array_walk_recursive function for multidimensional arrays:

$your_array = array('Somethings' => 
        array(
          'Something' => 
          array(
            0 => 
            array(
              '@att' => 
              array(
                'Code' => '0',
              ),
              'Fruit' => 'Apple',
            ),
            1 => 
            array(
              '@att' => 
              array(
                'Code' => '3',
              ),
              'Fruit' => 'Banana',
            ),
            2 => 
            array(
              '@att' => 
              array(
                'Code' => '1',
              ),
              'Fruit' => 'Pear',
            )
          )
      )
      );
      
    
    $fruits_list="";
    $fruits_array = array();
    $callback = 
      function ($value, $key) use (&$fruits_array) {
         if($key == "Fruit"){
            array_push($fruits_array,$value);
            
         }
      };
    array_walk_recursive($your_array, $callback);
    $fruits_list = implode(',',$fruits_array);
    echo $fruits_list;
