I tried this code but not working

$arr2 = [];
foreach($arr as $key=>$value){
    $arr1 = [
        'price' => $value['price'],
        'weight' => $value['weight'],

    ];

    if(isset($value['sub_option']) && is_array($value['sub_option'])){
        foreach($value['sub_option'] as $val2){
            $arr2 = [
                'price' => $val2['price'],
                'weight' => $val2['weight'],
            ];

        }
    }

$output[] = $arr1+$arr2;

}

print_r($output);

    Here is one method of doing this

    function format_array($arr) {
    $tmp = [];
    foreach($arr as $a) {
        //pass each of the root values to the helper function
        //also pass a reference to $tmp
        format_array_helper($a, $tmp);
    }
    return $tmp;
}

function format_array_helper($loop_value, &$tmp) {
    
    //set the sub options to it's own variable,
    //unset the sub options from the main variable
    $sub_options = $loop_value['sub_option'];
    unset($loop_value['sub_option']);
    
    //add the main variable to $tmp
    $tmp[] = $loop_value;
    
    //if there are sub options
    if(!empty($sub_options)) {
        foreach($sub_options as $sub) {
            
            //pass each root of sub_options to the helper function
            //also pass the reference to tmp
            format_array_helper($sub, $tmp);
            
        }
    }
}

    Let’s assume your array is called $arr. Here is the output of print_r(format_array($arr));

    Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [price] => 100
            [weight] => 42
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [price] => 25.99
            [weight] => 32
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [price] => 27.99
            [weight] => 83
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [price] => 14.99
            [weight] => 50
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [price] => 24.99
            [weight] => 25
        )

    [5] => Array
        (
            [price] => 100
            [weight] => 4233
        )

    Here is another method to doing this (with anonymous function)

    #example date
$data = [
    [
        'price' => 101,
        'weight' => 42,
        'sub_option' =>
            [
                'price' => 101,
                'weight' => 43,
                'sub_option' => [
                                 [
                                  'price' => 101,
                                  'weight' => 44,
                                  'sub_option' => null
                                 ]
                                ]
            ]
    ],
    [
        'price' => 102,
        'weight' => 42,
        'sub_option' => null
    ]
];
#global collector
$result = [];
#function variable, here with null value so we can use it as reference
$func = null;
#create the real function & use references
$func = function ($current) use (&$result, &$func) {
    #look for assoc array key
    if (isset($current['price'])) {
        #copy and unset not needed keys
        $tmp = $current;
        unset($tmp['sub_option']);
        #collect 
        $result[] = $tmp;
        #check for subarray and go deeper
        if (is_array($current['sub_option'])) {
            $func($current['sub_option']);
        }
    } elseif (is_array($current)) {
        #iterate index arrays
        foreach ($current as $sub) {
            $func($sub);
        }
    }
};
$func($data);
var_export($result);

    I will not explain this in detail, because first answer from GrumpyCrouton should be taken/accepted. But when you take some time, may you learn new stuff and how php works from this little code snipped.
