note 93528 added to function.array-filter

Here's an easy way to get a combination of keys and values, such that if you don't specify a key you will get the value, and if you do specify a key you will get the key: <?php $array = array('One' => 'First', 'Second', 'Third', 'Four' => 'Fourth', 'Fifth'); var_dump(array_keys($array)); $names = array_filter(array_keys($array), 'is_string') + array_values($array); ksort($array); var_dump($names); ?> Outputs: array(5) { [0]=>string(3) "One" [1]=>int(0) [2]=>int(1) [3]=>string(4) "Four" [4]=>int(2) } array(5) { [0]=>string(3) "One" [1]=>string(6) "Second" [2]=>string(5) "Third" [3]=>string(4) "Four" [4]=>string(5) "Fifth" } Without using ksort, the keys appear before the fallback values, instead of inline and appearing like they replace them, however the keys are intact (which is why ksort works) so it's only execution order. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 129.186.252.140 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-filter.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93528 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93528 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93528 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
