php - sort an array by key to match another array's order by key

Question

I have two arrays, both have the same keys (different values) however array #2 is in a different order. I want to be able to resort the second array so it is in the same ord

Answer 1

I am not completely sure if this is what your after. anyways as long as the the array remains the same size, than this should work for you.

$gamey = array ("wow" => "World of Warcraft", "gw2" => "Guild Wars2", "wiz101" => "Wizard 101");
$gamex = array ("gw2" => "best game", "wiz101" => "WTF?", "wow" => "World greatest");


function match_arrayKeys ($x, $y)
{
    $keys    = array_keys ($x);
    $values  = array_values ($y);

    for ($x = 0; $x < count ($keys); $x++)
    {
        $newarray [$keys[$x]] = $y[$keys[$x]];
    }
    return $newarray;
}

print_r (match_arrayKeys ($gamey, $gamex)); 

Output

[wow] => World greatest
[gw2] => best game
[wiz101] => WTF?
