Implode an inner array values

Question

An array

Array
(
    [0] => Array
    (
        [Detail] => Array
        (
            [detail_id] => 1
        )

    )

    [1] => Array
    (
        [Detail] => Array
        (
            [detail_id] => 4
        )

    )

)

Is it possible to use implode function with above array, because I want to implode detail_id to get 1,4.

I know it is possible by foreach and appending the array values, but want to know whether this is done by implode function or any other inbuilt function in PHP

What about something like the following, using join():

echo join(',', array_map(function ($i) { return $i['Detail']['detail_id']; }, $array));

If you need to use some logic - then array_reduce is what you need

$result = array_reduce($arr, function($a, $b) {
    $result = $b['Detail']['detail_id'];

    if (!is_null($a)) {
        $result = $a . ',' . $result;
    }

    return $result;
});

PS: for php <= 5.3 you need to create a separate callback function for that

If we use long array, whether this will slow down the process.

@Jusnit: For long array array_reduce() will be a lot faster and memory efficient than rajmohan's solution. This is because, unlike array_map(), it does not need an intermediary array to do the job.

Please check this answer.

$b = array_map(function($item) { return $item['Detail']['detail_id']; }, $test);

echo implode(",",$b);

<?php

$array = array(
    array('Detail' => array('detail_id' => 1)),
    array('Detail' => array('detail_id' => 4)),);

$newarray = array();

foreach($array as $items) {
    foreach($items as $details) {
        $newarray[] = $details['detail_id'];
    }
}

echo implode(', ', $newarray);

?>
