How to extract array Keys to String in an array PHP

I need to extract a associative array keys into a string and implode with "/" or any character/symbols.

For eg:

$array = array([key1] => 
                array([key11] => 
                     array([key111] => 'value111', 
                           [key112] => 'value112', 
                           [key113] => 'value113',
                          ),
                 ),
           );

I need an output as below array:

array([0] => 'key1/key11/key111',[1] => 'key1/key11/key112', [2] => 'key1/key11/key112');

I've edited an answer given here and came up with the following code.

function listArrayRecursive($someArray, &$outputArray, $separator = "/") {
    $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveArrayIterator($someArray), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
    foreach ($iterator as $k => $v) {

        if (!$iterator->hasChildren()) {
            for ($p = array(), $i = 0, $z = $iterator->getDepth(); $i <= $z; $i++) {
                $p[] = $iterator->getSubIterator($i)->key();
            }
            $path = implode($separator, $p);
            $outputArray[] = $path;
        }
    }
}

$outputArray = array();
listArrayRecursive($array, $outputArray);
print_r($outputArray);

Input:

Array
(
    [key1] => Array
        (
            [key11] => Array
                (
                    [key111] => value111
                    [key112] => value113
                    [key113] => value113
                )
        )
)

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => key1/key11/key111
    [1] => key1/key11/key112
    [2] => key1/key11/key113
)

Works for different depth of array:

function getKeys($array, $prefix='', $separator = '/') {
  $return = array();
  foreach($array as $key => $value) {
    if (!is_array($value)) $return[] = $prefix . $key;
    else $return = array_merge($return, getKeys($value, $prefix . $key . separator), $separator);
  }
  return $return;
}

$keys = getKeys($array, '', '#');

you could do something like...

    $mapArray = array();
    $symbol = '/';
    foreach($array as $k =>$v)
        foreach($v as $k1 =>$v1)
            foreach($v1 as $k2 =>$v2)
                $mapArray[] = $k.$symbol.$k1.$symbol.$k2;

also this obviously only works in this particular case, if it needs to be more generic it can be done, but I think this should get you started.
