Prefixing array keys with a string (:) in PHP

Question

Quick one; I know a solution, but I\'m looking for something more elegant if it exists.

I\'m using PDO for prepeared statements:

$sql = \"INSERT INTO         


        

Answer 1

use the php map-function: http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-map.php

function reduce($key)
{
if(strpos($key,":")===0)
return substr($key,1);
return $key;
}

$array = array_map("reduce",$array);
