note 88833 added to function.array-slice

I've written this array slicer that remains key association and subdivides all data into subarrays, I didn't profile this but I think it's faster then other implementations. By default you will split it in half or you can get more arrays returned. This can be very useful when you have an array structure of 47 items that needs to be divided into three (html) table columns. /** * Split an array into $n sub-arrays and remain key associations. * * @param $array * The array structure which needs to be splitted. * @param $n * The number of sub-arrays the datastructure needs to * be spliced into. * @return * An array containing $n sub-arrays. */ function array_smartsplit($array, $n = 2) { $container = array_fill(0, $n, array()); $pointer = 0; foreach ($array as $k => $v) { $container[$pointer][$k] = $v; $pointer++; if ($pointer == $n) $pointer = 0; } return $container; } ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.135 Probable Submitter: 82.95.23.27 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-slice.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/88833 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/88833 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/88833 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
