Answer 1

Just use a temp variable to hold one value as you swap the other. Then restore the first with the temp variable. For numbers there are other methods that don't require the use of temp variables but here it's the best (only?) way.

$a = array(
    0 => 'contact',
    1 => 'home',
    2 => 'projects'
);

print_r($a);
Array ( [0] => contact [1] => home [2] => projects )

$tmp = $a[0];
$a[0] = $a[1];
$a[1] = $tmp;

print_r($a);
Array ( [0] => home [1] => contact [2] => projects )
