The array_undot helper function will then be available globally in your project.

Usage

The following basic examples show how to use the array_undot helper function.

$dotNotationArray = ['products.desk.price' => 100];

$expanded = array_undot($dotNotationArray)

// ['products' => ['desk' => ['price' => 100]]];

$dotNotationArray = ['products.desk.price' => 100, 
                     'products.desk.name' => 'Oak Desk',
                     'products.lamp.price' => 15,
                     'products.lamp.name' => 'Red Lamp'];

$expanded = array_undot($dotNotationArray)

/*
[
    'products' => [
        'desk' => [
            'price' => 100,
            'name' => 'Oak Desk'
