note 43515 added to function.array-intersect

I needed to compare an array with associative keys to an array that contained some of the keys to the associative array. Basically, I just wanted to return only a few of the entries in the original array, and the keys to the entries I wanted were stored in another array. This is pretty straightforward (although complicated to explain), but I couldn't find a good function for comparing values to keys. So I wrote this relatively straightforward one: <?php function key_values_intersect($values,$keys) { foreach($keys AS $key) { $key_val_int[$key] = $values[$key]; } return $key_val_int; } $big = array("first"=>2,"second"=>7,"third"=>3,"fourth"=>5); $subset = array("first","third"); print_r(key_values_intersect($big,$subset)); ?> This will return: Array ( [first] => 2 [third] => 3 ) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-intersect.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+43515 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+43515&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+43515&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
