How to generate in PHP all combinations of items in multiple arrays

Question

I\'im trying to find all combinations of items in several arrays. The number of arrays is random (this can be 2, 3, 4, 5...). The number of elements in each array is random

Answer 1

One more idea:

$ar = [
    'a' => [1,2,3],
    'b' => [4,5,6],
    'c' => [7,8,9]
];

$counts = array_map("count", $ar);
$total = array_product($counts);
$res = [];

$combinations = [];
$curCombs = $total;

foreach ($ar as $field => $vals) {
    $curCombs = $curCombs / $counts[$field];
    $combinations[$field] = $curCombs;
}

for ($i = 0; $i < $total; $i++) {
    foreach ($ar as $field => $vals) {
        $res[$i][$field] = $vals[($i / $combinations[$field]) % $counts[$field]];
    }
}

var_dump($res);
