note 83185 added to function.array-fill-keys

Scratchy's version still doesn't work like the definition describes. Here's one that can take a mixed variable as the second parameter, defaulting to an empty string if it's not specified. Don't know if this is exactly how the function works in later versions but it's at least a lot closer. function array_fill_keys($target, $value = '') { if(is_array($target)) { foreach($target as $key => $val) { $filledArray[$val] = is_array($value) ? $value[$key] : $value; } } return $filledArray; } This works for either strings or numerics, so if we have $arr1 = array(0 => 'abc', 1 => 'def'); $arr2 = array(0 => 452, 1 => 128); $arr3 = array(0 => 'foo', 1 => 'bar'); then array_fill_keys($arr1,$arr2) returns: [abc] => 452, [def] => 128 array_fill_keys($arr1,0) returns: [abc] => 0, [def] => 0 array_fill_keys($arr2,$arr3) returns: [452] => foo, [128] => bar array_fill_keys($arr3,'BLAH') returns: [foo] => BLAH, [bar] => BLAH and array_fill_keys($arr1) returns: [abc] =>, [def] => ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 64.191.171.77 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-fill-keys.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83185 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83185 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83185 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
