note 119412 added to language.types.array

Sometimes I need to match fieldnames from database tables. But if a source field is used many times you can not use a hash "=>", because it overrides the key. My approach is to use a comma separated array and use a while-loop in conjunction with each. Having that you can iterate key/value based, but may have a key multiple times. $fieldmap = array ( 'id', 'import_id', 'productname', 'title', 'datetime_online', 'onlineDate', 'datetime_test_final', 'offlineDate', 'active', 'status', 'questionaire_intro', 'text_lead', 'datetime_online', 'createdAt', 'datetime_online', 'updatedAt' ); while(list(,$key) = each($fieldmap)) { list(,$value) = each($fieldmap); echo "$key: $value\n"; } ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 188.109.64.95 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/119412 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/119412 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/119412 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
