associative

I want to convert the arguments to a function into an associative array with keys equal to the parameter variable names, and values equal to the parameter values. PHP: function my_function($a, $b, $c) { // <--- magic goes here to create the $params array var_dump($params['a'] === $a); // Should result in bool(true) var_dump($params['b'] === $b); // Should result in bool(true) var_dump($params['c'] === $c); // Should result in bool(true) } How can I do this? The you can do this using compact : function myFunc($a, $b, $c) { $params = compact('a', 'b', 'c'); // ... } Or, get_defined_vars() will

I noticed that in my javascript, if I create an empty array, loop through it as an associative array, and print out the contents, it returns what looks like functions from the Array Object class itself. Here is my code: var test = new Array(); for(var i in test){ document.write(i + " " + test[i] + "<br>"); } alert(test.length); // this returns 0 The above code prints the following (I'm omitting some of the output since it's kind of long) $family function (){return u; } $constructor function Array() { [native code] } pop function pop() { [native code] } push function push() { [native code] }

I have a simple question about the (by the way really great!) Doctrine ODM. Assume you have a document like: /** * @Document */ class Test { /** @Id */ public $id; /** @WHICHTYPE */ public $field = array(); } Now i want to store an associative array like array("test" => "test1", "anothertest" => "test2", ......); In the $field property of that class. No problem for MongoDB, I know, but in Doctrine when I use for example @Collection or simply @Field, only the values are stored (array_values is being used in the mapping driver for collection for example). So the stored value looks like array(

When some codes like this: objc_setAssociatedObject ( obj, &key, val, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN ); Do I need to call related objc_setAssociatedObject ( obj, &key, nil, OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN ); to release the retained value? Does Objective-C runtime auto release the associative references in dealloc or somewhere? Mike Weller Associated objects will be released when the parent object is deallocated. See the documentation here , specifically this example: At point 1, the string overview is still valid because the OBJC_ASSOCIATION_RETAIN policy specifies that the array retains the associated

Hi out there in Stackland. I was wondering if there was either a function or an easy way to change an associative array into an indexed array. To elaborate, I'm using the Zend framework, and I've got a point in my site where I take out a row of an SQL table as an associative array. I've passed it to javascript via an echoed in JSON. However, I've noticed that I can see the names of my database's columns in Firebug. Having outsiders know the names of your tables and columns is a big security no-no, so I'd like to change it from SQLarray[user_id] SQLarray[block_id] SQLarray[b_price] etc. to
