You changed:

'c1' => 1

to:

'c1' => '1'

and my code required integer.

If you want the final item to be anything then you can use:

function pathjoin_help($o, $elms, &$res) {
     if(is_array($o)) {
         $elms[] = null;
         foreach($o as $pathelm => $value) {
             $elms[count($elms)-1] = $pathelm;
             pathjoin_help($value, $elms, $res);
         }
     } else {
         $res[implode('/', $elms)] = $o;
     }
}
