How to display something from array with another name in PHP?

Question

I have one array that returns one element $name, and I want to display it with another name.

For example:

$name = 'PC' and I want to display it as 'PC COMPUTER', first array displays element which is true, how to compare this elements with another array to display it with that other names?

Sorry, could you describe that a bit better? Could you show your actual code? — deceze

Can't you just make a second array and load it up with more descriptive names, then use the first as a key?

$name = 'PC';
$description =  array('PC' => 'PC COMPUTER');
echo $descriptions[$name];

Is that what you are looking for?
