I have this code which gives me post_permalink in a while loop.

<?php 
  $value[] = array();
    while ($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post()
                $value[] =array(
                    'post_permalink' => get_permalink()
                );

 endwhile; ?>

Now the thing is that I'm getting the links as 

    Array ( [0] => Array ( [post_permalink] => link ) 
            [1] => Array ( [post_permalink] => link ) 
            [2] => Array ( [post_permalink] => link ) 
            [3] => Array ( [post_permalink] => link ) )

The way I want it to be:

        Array ( [post_permalink] => link  
                [post_permalink] => link 
                [post_permalink] => link 
                [post_permalink] => link  )

i.e: All of the links in one array instead of four subarrays. Please help!

The result that you say you want has the same index multiple times. I don't think that's actually what you want. –  Patrick Q Apr 15 at 13:54
    
Your array must have unique keys. There really is no way to get around this. –  sfyn Apr 15 at 13:57
    
Yes I want the same index for every value, if that's possible –  user48752 Apr 15 at 13:57
    
"if that's possible" It's not. –  Patrick Q Apr 15 at 13:58

Before trying a bunch of things, you should probably spend some more time figuring out exactly what it is you're trying to accomplish, and what the result should be to accomplish that. –  Patrick Q Apr 15 at 14:03

You can't have an array the way you want it because each array key must be unique. This will work:

$values = array();
while($the_query->have_posts()) : $the_query->the_post();
    $values[] = get_permalink();
endwhile;

What does the colon in front of $the_query do? I've never seen this syntax before. –  max.weller Apr 15 at 16:27
    
@max.weller php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php This is the standard loop syntax in Wordpress –  Andy Apr 16 at 9:02

The example of what you want is not possible as array keys are unique.

You probably want something like:

$value['post_permalink'][] = get_permalink();

foreach($value[0] as $k=>$v)
   $result[$k]=$v
