Handy php array utilities.

timdev/php-array-utils

Everybody who writes a bunch of PHP eventually writes functions to do some common array manipulation tasks., _(*1)

This is where I'm going to stick all mine. You're welcome to use them, too., _(*2)

The utilities are implemented as static methods on a class., _(*3)

As of today, there's only one function:, _(*4)

ArrayUtils::val(array $array, $keys, $default = null)

Digs a value out of an array, or else returns a default value., _(*5)

use TimDev\ArrayUtils as A;

$array = ['foo' => ['bar' => 'baz']];

// $baz == 'baz'
$baz = A::val($array, ['foo', 'bar']);

// $nope == null
$nope = A::val($array, ['foo', 'bork']);

// $nope == 'squee'
$nope = A::val($array, ['i-do-not-exist'], 'squee');

// if you're just dereferencing by one level, you can pass int/string as second arg:
// $foo == ['bar' => 'baz']
$foo = A::val($array, 'foo');
