Getting array instead of string

I have tried everything but answer is probably much simple. Variable $data['phone'] is for example 954a23589 and I want only numbers so ill get them. 

$phoneW = strval($data['phone']);
preg_match_all('!\d+!', $phoneW, $matches);
print_r(array_values($matches));  echo '<br /><br />';

The output is 

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 954 [1] => 23589 ) )

I want everyone of them together as string or int (does not matter).

Why not replace everything that is not a digit with “nothing”?

echo preg_replace('#[^\d]#', '', '954a23589');

It's probably easier to replace every non-digit with an empty string:

$number = preg_replace('/\D+/', '', $phoneW);
