I have the following array

Array
(
   ['colour'] => Array
       (
             [0] => 1130
             [1] => 1131
             [2] => 1132
             [3] => 1133
       )

   ['size'] => Array
       (
             [0] => 1069
             [1] => 1070
       )
   //there could also be further arrays here such as weight etc

)

I want to get all the possible permutations - such as

 Colour 1130 - Size 1069
 Colour 1130 - Size 1070
 Colour 1131 - Size 1069
 Colour 1131 - Size 1070
 Colour 1132 - Size 1069
 etc

But obviously don't want to have permutations that contain more than 1 of each type (an item cannot be both blue and red or both large and medium)

note, that the keys are all numeric, I changed them here to colour, size to make it clearer (hopefully!)

I've taken the cartesian function from this answer, and given the output you've wanted.

(Credit to sergiy for creating the function)

https://eval.in/199787

<?php

$array = Array
    (
    'colour' => Array
        (
        1130,
        1131,
        1132,
        1133
    ),
    'size' => Array
        (
        1069,
        1070
    )
);

echo "<pre>";
$arrFinalArray = cartesian($array);
foreach( $arrFinalArray as $arrIndie) {
    //We know each as 2 keys
    $arrKeys = array_keys($arrIndie);
    $arrValues = array_values($arrIndie);

    echo $arrKeys[0] ."  ". $arrValues[0] ." - ". $arrKeys[1] ." ". $arrValues[1] ."<br />";
}
echo "</pre>";


function cartesian($input) {
    // filter out empty values
    $input = array_filter($input);

    $result = array(array());

    foreach ($input as $key => $values) {
        $append = array();

        foreach($result as $product) {
            foreach($values as $item) {
                $product[$key] = $item;
                $append[] = $product;
            }
        }

        $result = $append;
    }

    return $result;
}

$col = array('color'=>array(1130,1131,1132,1133));
$size = array('size'=>array(1069,1070));
$new_col = array();
foreach($col['color'] as $i=>$c){
    $new_col[]= "Color ". $c;
}

$new_size = array();
foreach($size['size'] as $i=>$s){
    $new_size[]= "Size ". $s;
}

$new_array = array();

foreach($new_col as $nc){

    foreach($new_size as $ns){
        $new_array[] = $nc. " ".$ns;
    }
}
print_r($new_array);
