[SOLVED] arrays but backwards

[acidglitter]

say you have an array like this

 

key[0] => value(blue)

key[1] => value(green)

key[2] => value(red)

 

 

if you put like $array[1] it will return "green" but is there a way you can do it the other way around? like $array['green'] and it will return "1"?

[DarkWater]

$newarray = array_combine(array_values($array), array_keys($array));

 

echo $newarray['green']; //Outputs: 1

One way would be to use array_flip to flip the array around.
