create a 2D array from 2 single D array

[alvaronicardo]

Hello

can anyone  help me out with code to create a 2 dimension array from 2 single dimension array. for example

$path = array('base', 'category', 'subcategory', 'item');

$location=array('india','USA','UK','RUSSIA',);

now i need to have a @D array which have the following structure

$final[0]=array('base','india');

$final[1]=array('category','USA');

$final[2]=array('subcategory','UK');

$final[3]=array('item','RUSSIA');

Use a simple "for" loop:

<?php
$path = array('base', 'category', 'subcategory', 'item');
$location=array('india','USA','UK','RUSSIA');
$final = array();
for ($i=0;$i<count($path);++$i) {
   $final[] = array($path[$i],$location[$i]);
}
?>

Might I suggest an alternative solution that "may" fit your needs better? The values you specified in your example may just be "mock" data that is not representative of the values you are really using. But, at first I thought that the first list of values were "labels" and the second list were "values", but I'm not sure. At the very least you are creating a one-to-one relationship.

 

In that case, a better approach may be to create a single dimension array where one list is used as the keys and the other list is used as the values:

$final = array();
for($i=0, $count=min(count($path), count($location)); $i<$count; ++$i)
{
    $final[$path[$i]] = $location[$i];
}

 

Content of $final

Array
(
    [base] => india
    [category] => USA
    [subcategory] => UK
    [item] => RUSSIA
)

if you like majdamato's solution you can use function

array_combine($keysarray, $valuesarray);

I knew there had to be a function for doing that but couldn't find it.
