Re-arranging and combining an array

Question

I'm having an issue when I dump the array below. This dumps several arrays. Some are 2 some are 3, which complicates it even more. Basically what I want I put below. I have tried array_push, array_combine, array_merge, several different ways including $array[$param] = $insertValue and I'm stuck. I am open to creating a brand new array too.

Please note not all arrays are counts of 3 but always return at least 1.

Original array:

array(3) {
 [0]=>
 array(2) {
    ["contact_id"]=>
    string(9) "CONTACTID"
    ["contact_id_content"]=>
    string(19) "123456789123456"
}
 [1]=>
 array(2) {
    ["sm_owner"]=>
    string(9) "SMOWNERID"
    ["sm_owner_content"]=>
    string(19) "123456798452"
}
[2]=>
 array(2) {
    ["contact_owner"]=>
    string(13) "Contact Owner"
    ["contact_owner_content"]=>
    string(16) "Jane Doe"
}

Array desired:

array(3) {
 [0]=>
 array(6) {
   ["contact_id"]=>
   string(9) "CONTACTID"
   ["contact_id_content"]=>
   string(19) "123456789123456"
   ["sm_owner"]=>
   string(9) "SMOWNERID"
   ["sm_owner_content"]=>
   string(19) "123456798452"
   ["contact_owner"]=>
   string(13) "Contact Owner"
   ["contact_owner_content"]=>
   string(16) "Jane Doe"
}

try this code:

$NewArray = array();
foreach($OriginalArray as $value) {
    $NewArray[] = array_merge($value,$NewArray);
}

or you can use array_merge_recursive

let $result = [];

foreach ($yourarray as $key => $value) {
  $result  = $value;
}
var_dump($result);

Try something like this:

function flatten(array $array) : array
{
    $newArray = [];
    foreach ($array as $subArray) {
        foreach ($subArray as $key => $value) {
            $newArray[$key] = $value;
        }
    }
    return $newArray;
}
