Invert Binary Tree in PHP

Question

guys, I have this problem in PHP I'm trying to invert Binary Tree in PHP but I don't have an idea how to resolve this problem.

The task is to invert a binary tree, so the leaf's order is inverted.

Example:

    1
   / \
  2   3
 / \ / \
4  5 6  7

inverts to:

    1
   / \
  3   2
 / \ / \
7  6 5  4

Note: keep in mind that a tree can also be imbalanced.

/**
 * leaf data structure
 */
class BinaryNode {

    /** @var mixed null */
    public $value = null;
    /** @var BinaryNode null */
    public $left = null;
    /** @var BinaryNode null */
    public $right = null;

    /**
     * @param mixed $value
     */
    public function __construct( $value ) {
        $this->value = $value;
    }
}

class BinaryTree
{
    /**
     * @param BinaryNode $root
     * @return BinaryNode
     */
    public static function invert($root): BinaryNode
    {
        //$BinaryNode = new BinaryNode();

        if(!isset($root)) return $root;

        $tempLeftNode = $root->left;

        $root->left = $root->right;
        $root->right = $tempLeftNode;

        self::invert($root->left);
        self::invert($root->right);

        return  $root;

    }
}

$root = new BinaryNode(1);

$root->left = new BinaryNode(2);
$root->right = new BinaryNode(3);

$root->left->left = new BinaryNode(4);
$root->left->right = new BinaryNode(5);

$root->right->left = new BinaryNode(6);
$root->right->right = new BinaryNode(7);

print_r(BinaryTree::invert($root));

You can do it using a recursively function... I remember doing an exercise like this years ago... Well, my solution would be something like this:

$array = [
    'a' => [
        'b1' => [
            'c1' => [
                'e1' => 4,
                'f1' => 5,
                'g1' => 6,
            ],
            'd1' => [
                'e11' => 4,
                'f11' => 5,
                'g11' => 6,
            ]
        ],
        'b2' => [
            'c2' => [
                'e2' => 4,
                'f2' => 5,
                'g2' => 6,
            ],
            'd2' => [
                'e21' => 4,
                'f21' => 5,
                'g21' => 6,
            ]
        ],
    ]
];

With the function:

function reverse_recursively($arrayInput) {
    foreach ($arrayInput as $key => $input) {
        if (is_array($input)) {
            $arrayInput[$key] = reverse_recursively($input);
        }
    }

    return array_reverse($arrayInput);
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($array);
echo '<br>';
print_r(reverse_recursively($array));
