For example I have the following code:
$sample = array('apple', 'orange', 'banana', 'grape');
I want to rearrange this array, by making $sample[2] the new $sample[0], while keeping the same order throughout the array.
Output should be:
Array ( [0] => banana [1] => grape [2] => apple [3] => orange)
Use array_shift() as many times as you need...
$sample = array('apple', 'orange', 'banana', 'grape');
$fruit = array_shift($sample);
$sample[] = $fruit;
// now $sample will be array('orange', 'banana', 'grape', 'apple');
So say you want to make a function:
function rearrange_array($array, $key) {
while ($key > 0) {
$temp = array_shift($array);
$array[] = $temp;
$key--;
}
return $array;
}
Now, using rearrange_array($sample, 2) you can rearrange the sample array to your desired output.
