associative-array

I am not sure what is the appropriate terms to use for my title but just wondering to have below solution where need to merge/combine two values into one within a associative array. For example I have this array: Array ( [1] => Array ( [agent_name_1] => Agent 1 [agent_phone_1] => 0123456 [agent_company_1] => My Company [agent_email_1] => agent@yahoo.com [agent_address_1] => United States ) ) Here I would like to combine company_1 with address_1 . So the output should be like this: Array ( [1] => Array ( [agent_name_1] => Agent 1 [agent_phone_1] => 0123456 [agent_email_1] => agent@yahoo.com

I have an array: array('something' => 'like this', 'something' => 'like this', 'something' => 'like this'); I would like to replace it (quickly as possible, using a simple inline function) to be like this: array(0 => 'like this', 1 => 'like this', 2 => 'like this'); Possible using any built-in php-array functions? check out array_values $new_array=array_values($array); print_r($new_array); Rukmi Patel $arr = array( 'something'=>'something', 'something'=>'something' ); $new_arr = array(); $new_arr = array_values(arr); print_r($new_arr); $arr = array( 'something'=>'something', 'something'=>

I'm looking for an elegant way to turn this array: Array ( [foo] => 1 [bar] => 1 [zim] => 3 [dib] => 6 [gir] => 1 [gaz] => 3 ) Into this array: Array ( [1] => Array ( foo, bar, gir ), [3] => Array ( zim, gaz ), [6] => Array ( dib ) ) Note: , there is no relationship between the keys or values. They are completely arbitrary and used as examples only. The resulting array should be an associative array grouped by the values of the input array. Thanks! $input = array( 'foo' => 1, 'bar' => 1, 'zim' => 3, 'dib' => 6, 'gir' => 1, 'gaz' => 3 ) $output = array(); foreach ( $input as $k => $v ) { if (

I want to add a value to an array while foreaching it : foreach ($array as $cell) { if ($cell["type"] == "type_list") { $cell["list"] = $anObject; error_log(print_r($cell, TRUE), 0); } error_log(print_r($array, TRUE), 0); The first printr is ok but the object added disapear when I leave the loop ant print the array. I guess this is a normal behaviour, what is the best way to work around this "feature" ? Indranil Just call $cell by reference like this: foreach($array as &$cell) {...} And it should retain the value. Passing by reference . When you iterate over the array, $cell is a copy of the

In PHP when you have an associative array, e.g.: $groups['paragraph'] = 3 $groups['line'] = 3 what is the syntax to access the first or second element of the array when you don't know the value of the keys ? Is there something like in a C# LINQ statement where you can say: $mostFrequentGroup = $groups->first()? or $mostFrequentGroup = $groups->getElementWithIndex(0)? Or do I have to use a foreach statement and pick them out as I do at the bottom of this code example: //should return "paragraph" echo getMostFrequentlyOccurringItem(array('line', 'paragraph', 'paragraph')); //should return "line"
