opposite of array_count_values

<?php
$a=array("Cat","Dog","Horse","Dog");

print_r(array_count_values($a));
?>

PHP:

it returns

Array ( [Cat] => 1 [Dog] => 2 [Horse] => 1 )

Code (markup):

but i want exact opposite.
i have an array like

$b = array( [Cat] => 1 [Dog] => 2 [Horse] => 1 )

PHP:

but the i have to convert it like

array("Cat","Dog","Horse","Dog")

Code (markup):

how can i do it? any array function ?

 

Use array_keys:

http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-keys.php

 

Try this:

$b = array( "Cat" => 1, "Dog" => 2, "Horse" => 1 );

$result = array();	// will hold the final contents
foreach($b as $key => $value)
{	
	$t = array();
	$t = array_fill(0, $value, $key);	// fill the array with a value for the given number of times
	$result = array_merge((array)$result, (array)$t);	// merge this newly created array with the original one
}	
var_dump($result);

PHP:

Hope this helps
