note 106304 added to language.types.array

Hi, here's a way to access an associative array via it's numeric index. <?php //sample associative array: $myAssocArray = array('a'=>'apple', 'b'=>'banana', 'c'=>'carrot', 'd'=>'dragon fruit'); echo $assocArray[0]; //Above won't work! Because you can't access an associative array numerically. But, function goAssocArrayNumeric($arrAssoc, $key=-1) { $i = -1; foreach ($arrAssoc as $k => $v) { $i++; if ($i == $key) { return $v; } } return FALSE; } //usage: echo goAssocArrayNumeric($myAssocArray,0);//apple echo goAssocArrayNumeric($myAssocArray,3);//dragon fruit ?> Hope it helps! Thanks. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 112.135.135.170 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/106304 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/106304 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/106304 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
