Foreach all of the nested loops automatically

Question

guys I am trying to do this kind of loop.

$first_ex =
              array(

                 '1st' => array(

                    '1.1' => 'value1',
                    '1.2' => 'value2'
                    // and so on...
                 )
              );
$second_ex =
              array(

                 '1st' => array(

                    '1.1' => array(
                             1.1.1 => 'value'
                             // so on...
                    )
                    '1.2' => array(
                             1.2.1 => 'value'
                             // so on...
                    )

                 )
              );

As of now I can only do array in an array, but how can I make a code that it will automatically process all of the nested arrays no matter how many nested arrays are in there.

[Note] It does not answer my question.

function processArray($array) {
  foreach ($array as $item) {
    if (is_array($item)) {
      processArray($item);
    } else {
      processValue($item);
    }
  }
}

function processValue($value) {
  echo $value;
}

processArray($second_ex);
