PHP's array_map including keys

Question

Is there a way of doing something like this:

$test_array = array(\"first_key\" => \"first_value\", 
                    \"second_key\" => \"second_valu

A closure would work if you only need it once. I'd use a generator.

$test_array = [
    "first_key" => "first_value", 
    "second_key" => "second_value",
];

$x_result = (function(array $arr) {
    foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
        yield "$key loves $value";
    }
})($test_array);

var_dump(iterator_to_array($x_result));

// array(2) {
//   [0]=>
//   string(27) "first_key loves first_value"
//   [1]=>
//   string(29) "second_key loves second_value"
// }

For something reusable:

function xmap(callable $cb, array $arr)
{
    foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
        yield $cb($key, $value);
    }
}

var_dump(iterator_to_array(
    xmap(function($a, $b) { return "$a loves $b"; }, $test_array)
));
