PHP Array Question

Hi all,

Is there a php function to merge two indexed arrays into one assoc array?

I know I could write this function but I wanted to use the native function if it exists and I didn't see it on php.net

It would work like:

$KEY = Array('somekey'); 
$VALUE = Array('somevalue'); 

$ASSOC = make_assoc($KEY, $vALUE); 

// then $ASSOC looks like
Array('somekey' => 'somevalue);

sorry I think you'll have to write the function - only a few lines of code though.

 

Yeah, I guess it's really simple. It just seemed like Zend would have allready done it for me. Thanks for the input.

 

No problem - yeah i've thought the same way for little functions that i was SURE someone else had written and incorporated into php. I've spent too much of my life looking for these functions when I could have written them myself in about 30 seconds.

 

there is an array_merge function

http://uk.php.net/array_merge

 

This function only merges the values of an array. Not the Keys with the Values.

I thought I'd post this in case anyone was curious:

/**
 * Converts two indexed arrays into an associative array of KEY=>VAlUE pairs
 *
 * @param array of key names $keys
 * @param array of values to map to key names $values
 * @return associative array like $array[$key] = $value 
 */
function make_assoc($keys, $values)
{
    $returnAssoc = array(); 
    $valueCount = count($values); 
    for($i = 0; $i < $valueCount; $i++) 
    {
        $returnAssoc[$keys[$i]]=$values[$i];    
    } 
    return $returnAssoc; 
}
