Hi I have an array, I need to change the keys, in an orderly manner but don't change the order the values are. e.g.
$a = array (
0=>'h',
1=>'blabla',
2=>'yes'
);
I used
unset($a[1]);
but i need the key to restart calculating the keys 0,1,2 ... etccc so i don't end up with:
array(
0 => 'h',
2 => 'yes'
)
but it should come return:
array(
0 => 'h',
1 => 'yes'
)
You need to apply array_values on your array to re-index.
$a = array_values($a);
Bonus: If you also need to order your values you can use sort and it too will re-index your array.
Note: By using any of array_values or sort you will loose any string keys you may have.
Call array_values on it:
$a = array (
0=>'h',
1=>'blabla',
2=>'yes'
);
unset($a[1]);
$a = array_values($a);
var_dump($a);
/*
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(1) "h"
[1]=>
string(3) "yes"
}
*/
You can also use array_splice() instead of unset(), which will automatically reindex the array elements:
$a = array (
0=>'h',
1=>'blabla',
2=>'yes'
);
array_splice($a,1,1);
var_dump($a);
