[SOLVED] Combine different size arrays

[wrenbjor]

ok I have an array where the length changes but it is always divisible by 5. I.E

 

<?php
$rep_array = Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 48 [2] => 206 [3] => 1224460800 [4] => 0.0
[5] => 3 [6] => 48 [7] => 206 [8] => 1224461100 [9] => 0.0
[10] => 3 [11] => 48 [12] => 206 [13] => 1224461400 [14] => 0.0
[15] => 3 [16] => 48 [17] => 206 [18] => 1224462300 [19] => 0.0
[20] => 3 [21] => 48 [22] => 206 [23] => 1224462600 [24] => 0.0);
?>

so this array has 25 values but there could be up to 1000 or more. I want to take this array and combine it with an array with keys for the values that you see here. I.E

<?php
$rep_keys = array("Server", "Dest", "Test", "Time", "Packets");
?>

So that I have

<?php
Array ( [server] => 3 [Dest] => 48 [Test] => 206 [Time] => 1224460800 [Packets] => 0.0
[server] => 3 [Dest] => 48 [Test] => 206 [Time] => 1224461100 [Packets] => 0.0
[server] => 3 [Dest] => 48 [Test] => 206 [Time] => 1224461400 [Packets] => 0.0
[server] => 3 [Dest] => 48 [Test] => 206 [Time] => 1224462300 [Packets] => 0.0
[server] => 3 [Dest] => 48 [Test] => 206 [Time] => 1224462600 [Packets] => 0.0);
?>

So $rep_keys is always the same but $rep_array always changes in length but always has the 5 fields over and over.

 

I just can't see how to loop through this to add the keys to each section. Please help

i imagine something like this would work:

$loopCount = count($rep_array);
for($i = 0; $i < $loopCount; $i+5){
        $combinedArray[] = array($rep_keys[0] => $rep_array[$i],
                                           $rep_keys[1] => $rep_array[$i+1],
                                           $rep_keys[2] => $rep_array[$i+2],
                                           $rep_keys[3] => $rep_array[$i+3],
                                           $rep_keys[4] => $rep_array[$i+4]);
}

You can't have the same key more than once in an array.

Something like this:

$rep_array2 = array();
for ($i=0;$i<(count($rep_array)/5);$i++){
  $rep_array2['Server'][] = $rep_array[$i];
  $rep_array2['Dest'][] = $rep_array[$i+1];
  $rep_array2['Test'][] = $rep_array[$i+2];
  $rep_array2['Time'][] = $rep_array[$i+3];
  $rep_array2['Packets'][] = $rep_array[$i+4];
}

try

<?php
$rep_array = Array (
       0 => 3, 1 => 48, 2 => 206, 3 => 1224460800, 4 => 0.0,
      5 => 3, 6 => 48, 7 => 206, 8 => 1224461100, 9 => 0.0,
      10 => 3, 11 => 48, 12 => 206, 13 => 1224461400, 14 => 0.0,
      15 => 3, 16 => 48, 17 => 206, 18 => 1224462300, 19 => 0.0,
      20 => 3, 21 => 48, 22 => 206, 23 => 1224462600, 24 => 0.0);
      
$rep_keys = array("Server", "Dest", "Test", "Time", "Packets");

function combine5 ($keys, $array)
{
    $tmp = array_chunk($array, 5);
    $result = array();
    foreach ($tmp as $data)
    {
        $result[] = array_combine ($keys, $data);
    }
    return $result;
}

$new = combine5($rep_keys, $rep_array);

echo '<pre>', print_r($new, true), '</pre>';
?>

To take this to the next level:

<?php
$rep_array = Array ( 3, 48, 206, 1224460800, 0.0, 3, 48, 206, 1224461100, 0.0, 3, 48, 206, 1224461400, 0.0, 3, 48, 206, 1224462300, 0.0, 3, 48, 206, 1224462600, 0.0);
$rep_keys = array("Server", "Dest", "Test", "Time", "Packets");
$rep_array2 = array();
$max = count($rep_array);
for ($i=0;$i<$max;$i){
  foreach ($rep_keys as $k) {
  		if (!is_array($rep_array2[$k])) $rep_array2[$k] = array();
      $rep_array2[$k][] = $rep_array[$i++];
}
}
echo '<pre>' . print_r($rep_array2,true) . '</pre>';
?>

Barand's code is what I am looking for. Thanks a lot!!!
