$array1 = array(1, 2); $array2 = array(3); $array3 = array(4, 5);I want to get the following combinations:
array(1, 3, 4) array(1, 3, 5) array(2, 3, 4) array(2, 3, 5)It is quite obvious that I will need a recursive function to do this, but it is not straightforward to start writing the function straightaway. With the hope that someone else might have already got such a function to do the task, I started googling and found a perfect post from Amoeba However, his function only prints out combinations with strings, I have modified it slightly so that it returns arrays for my own purpose, and without using of global variables:
public static function getArrayCombinations($arr, &$final, &$codes = array(), &$pos = 0) { if(count($arr)) { for($i=0; $iIt works perfectly fine and is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the post and it saved me lots of time to write this recursive function.
