Truncate all values in a flat array to n characters

How can I limit the character length of all string inside an array?

Like chunk_split ( $string, 10 );

$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foofoofoofoofoofoofoo",
    "name" => "name34234242224"
);

I do not want more than 10 characters in any string.

Like this:

foreach($array as $key => $value){
    $array[$key] = substr($value,0,10);
}

you can loop each element with a foreach and get first 10 characters. this function is static. it means it won't check for new element anymore. you could create a check method for each new element inserted.

foreach ($array as $key => value) {

    $array[$key] = chunk_split($value, 10);

}

now, for every element you will insert, call this function for check the length of the string:

function newElement($array, $element) {

    array_push($array, substring($element, 10));

    return $array;

}

$array = array_map(function($value) {
    return substr($value, 0, 10);
}, $array);

Loop through each item in the array, and run chunk_split() on it:

foreach ($array as $key => value) {
    $array[$key] = chunk_split($value, 10);
}
