Finding cartesian product with PHP associative arrays

Question

Say that I have an array like the following:

Array
(
    [arm] => Array
        (
            [0] => A
            [1] => B
            [2] => C
         


        

Answer 1

In PHP 7 @Serg's answer can be shortened to:

function cartesian(array $input)
{
    $result = [[]];
    foreach ($input as $key => $values) {
        $append = [];
        foreach ($values as $value) {
            foreach ($result as $data) {
                $append[] = $data + [$key => $value];
            }
        }
        $result = $append;
    }

    return $result;
}
