search and replace value in PHP array

Question

I was looking for some standard PHP function to replace some value of an array with other, but surprisingly I haven\'t found any, so I have to write my own:

Answer 1

While there isn't one function equivalent to the sample code, you can use array_keys (with the optional search value parameter), array_fill and array_replace to achieve the same thing:

EDIT by Tomas: the code was not working, corrected it:

$ar = array_replace($ar,
    array_fill_keys(
        array_keys($ar, $value),
        $replacement
    )
);
