创建数组显示在赋值PHP语法中

Question

Currently, print_r($myarray); return this style of output:

Array
(
    [a] => apple
    [b] => banana
    [c] => Array
        (
            [0] => x
            [1] => y
            [2] => z
        )
)

How can this be displayed in a declaration-like syntax? i.e.:

$myarray = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));

I'm not sure why you need this, but you can strigify the array with a simple PHP function

function stringify_array($array, $depth=0)
{
    $string = "";
    if (is_array($array))
    {
        $string .= "array (";
        foreach ($array as $key => $value)
        {
            $string .= "'$key' => ";
            $string .= (is_array($value)) ? stringify_array($value, ++$depth) : "'$value'";
            $string .= ",";

        }
        $string .= ")";
        if ($depth == 0)
        {
            $string .= ";";
        }
    }
    return $string;
}

$myarray = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));
echo stringify_array($myarray);
