i dont think there is a pre-made function but u can use :
(! --untested at all --! )
function determine_array($a)
{
$numric=0;
$assoc=0;
foreach($a as $index=>$value)
{
if(is_numeric($index)){ $numric=1; }
else{ $assoc=1; }
}
return $numric+$assoc*2;
}
then results should be:
empty: 0
numric: 1
assoc : 2
num+assoc : 3
