Assign multiple keys to same value in array

问题

 $lang = array(
        'thank you'=>'You are welcome',
        'thanks'=>'You are welcome',
        'thank ya'=>'You are welcome'
    );

As you can see this is going to get tiresome writing multiple keys for the same value is there any way I can do.

$lang['thanks']=>$lang['thank ya']=>$lang['thank you']

Just trying to save myself some time here from rewriting a hundred times

PHP class function:

function fetch_key($key, $l,$bool){
    $dynamic = new l18n;
     if($bool == true or is_null($bool)){
        return addslashes( $dynamic->convert($key,$l) );
     }else{
      return  $dynamic->convert($key,$l);
     }
  }

 $lang = array(
        'thank you'=>'You are welcome',
        'thanks'=>'You are welcome',
        'thank ya'=>'You are welcome',
        'hello'=>'hello',
        'goodbye'=>'goodbye'
    );

So I'd need to make it so it adds it to the array and not fill my key values with the same value when in fact they aren't all the exact same. I should have stated this in the beginning

回答1:

You can use array_fill_keys() :

$keys = array('thank you','thanks','thank ya');
$lang = array_fill_keys($keys, 'You are welcome');

Example

While I am reticent to offer up a code solution when you've admitted you are new to the language and just haven't researched it well, I'm going to hope that this project is you playing with the language to learn it as opposed to jumping in head first to give something to a client where it will ultimately not perform well.

Edit: Just saw your "good thing I'm going to college for this" and am I glad I posted to help.

Here's a structure which does what I believe you are seeking to do.

<?php
class StandardizeSayings {
  public static $CONVERSIONS = array(
    'You are welcome' => array(
      'thank you',
      'thanks',
      'thank ya'
      ),
    'Hello' => array('hello'),
    'Goodbye' => array('goodbye', 'good bye')
  );

  public static function getStandardization($word) {
    $word_lowercase = strtolower($word);
    foreach (StandardizeSayings::$CONVERSIONS as $conversion=>$equivalents) {
      if (array_search($word_lowercase, $equivalents) !== false) {
        return $conversion;
      }
    }
    return '';
  }
}

echo StandardizeSayings::getStandardization('thank ya');
?>

It uses a class structure with static members/methods (so no instantiation of the class is needed). It is easy to extend with a pre-defined list of conversions (work is needed to add in additional conversions at runtime.) It should also run fairly fast.

I do it in three steps:

1 - Define unique values

2 - Fill repetitive value

3 - Union 1. and 2.

$lang = array(
    'hello'=>'hello', 
    'goodbye'=>'goodbye'
);

$keys = array('thank you','thanks','thank ya');
$result = array_fill_keys($keys, 'You are welcome');

$lang += $result;

Have a look at array_fill_keys and Array Operators +=
