PHP - creating a 2-dimensional array

Question

$city=array('delhi','noida','mumbai','noida');
$name=array('ankit','atul','ramu','manu');

I want to create a 2-dimensional array using the two arrays above, with the name of the cities as keys and the corresponding names as the values. The names must be sorted.

That would be an associative array, not a 2 dimensional array. I suggest you show some attempt to actually solve this yourself (or go to rent-a-coder or elancer for help). — Quentin

@David I thought this was a Q&A site - is posting a question here not a valid attempt to get help? I thought that was the point. — Ryan Elkins

The difference usually lies in the individual's experience level. I don't see anything wrong with this question for a budding developer. — Ryan Elkins

Try this:

$arr = array_combine($city, $name);
asort($arr);

array_combine creates an array using the array values of the first argument as key and the values of the second array as values. And asort sorts the array values while maintaining the association of key and value.

There is a function called array_combine($array1, $array2) which make your 2 arrays combine as Key(as array1) and Value(as array2).

$Mixedarray = array_combine($array1, $array2);
