How do you rotate a two dimensional array?

Question

Inspired by Raymond Chen\'s post, say you have a 4x4 two dimensional array, write a function that rotates it 90 degrees. Raymond links to a solution in pseudo code, but I\'d

PHP:

0)
{
    $b[count($a[0])-1][] = array_shift($a[0]);
    if (count($a[0])==0)
    {
         array_shift($a);
    }
}

From PHP5.6, Array transposition can be performed with a sleak array_map() call. In other words, columns are converted to rows.

Code: (Demo)

$array = [
    [1, 2, 3, 4],
    [5, 6, 7, 8],
    [9, 0, 1, 2],
    [3, 4, 5, 6]
];
$transposed = array_map(null, ...$array);

$transposed:

[
    [1, 5, 9, 3],
    [2, 6, 0, 4],
    [3, 7, 1, 5],
    [4, 8, 2, 6]
]
