Remove key from multidimensional array in PHP

Question

Hi I am going to make tree array for multilevel category menu and I have found the solution from below link:

stackoverflow answer

But my problem is that i am getting output of my array as FORMAT-1 and in the above given link the source array required as FORMAT-2

So can you please give me a hand for how to convert my array from FORMAT-1 to FORMAT-2

FORMAT-1

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [category_id] => 11
            [category_name] => Accessories
            [parent_category_id] => 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [category_id] => 12
            [category_name] => Keyrings
            [parent_category_id] => 1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [category_id] => 13
            [category_name] => Photo Frames/Photo Albums
            [parent_category_id] => 1
        )

)

FORMAT-2 (I want output as below)

Array(
        Array(
                'category_id' => 11
                'category_name' => 'Accessories'
                'parent_category_id' => 1
            ),

        Array(
                'category_id' => 12
                'category_name' => 'Keyrings'
                'parent_category_id' => 1
            ),

        Array(
                'category_id' => 13
                'category_name' => 'Photo Frames/Photo Albums'
                'parent_category_id' => 1
            )

    );

Thanks in advance for your help and much appreciated

These are slightly different representations of a same array. Nothing is wrong here. — u_mulder

Can you explain more? What is really your problem because those two FORMATS are the same. — tzortzik

Please check the stackoverflow answer link in that solution function "buildTree" required array parameter as in format-2. is there any alternative for that? — Dhaval Bharadva

Both arrays are more are like same..

Format-1 looks print_r($yourarray); version

Format-2 looks like var_export($yourarray); version.

You need to have a look at the debugger functions.. print_r(), var_dump() and var_export().

If your purpose is debugging you may use <pre>var_dump()</pre>.
