Retrieves multiple keys from an array. If the key does not exist in the array, the default value will be added instead.

Convert a multi-dimensional array into a single-dimensional array.

Retrieve a single key from an array. If the key does not exist in the array, the default value will be returned instead.
// Get the value "username" from $_POST, if it exists

Recursive version of array_map, applies one or more callbacks to all elements in an array, including sub-arrays.
// Apply "strip_tags" to every element in the array
$array
= Arr::map(
'strip_tags'
,
$array
);
// Apply $this->filter to every element in the array
$array
= Arr::map(
array
(
array
(
$this
,
'filter'
)),
$array
);
// Apply strip_tags and $this->filter to every element
$array
= Arr::map(
array
(
'strip_tags'
,
array
(
$this
,
'filter'
)),
$array
);
Because you can pass an array of callbacks, if you wish to use an array-form callback
you must nest it in an additional array as above. Calling Arr::map(array($this,'filter'), $array)
will cause an error.
[!!] Unlike array_map
, this method requires a callback and will only map
a single array.

Merges one or more arrays recursively and preserves all keys. Note that this does not work the same as array_merge_recursive!
