Change array Values to Keys

[SeanHarding]

I need some help converting my captured array values into keys and later add arrays as the values.

 

This might help explain what I'm looking for:

 

I currently have

Array
(
    [0] => Meat
    [1] => Veg
)

 

But I'm after

Array
(
    Meat => 
    Veg =>
)

 

My end result will be:

[Veg] => Array
                (
                    [Potatoe] => 12
                    [Cabbage] => 24
                    [Cucumber] => 56
                )

[Meat] => Array
                (
                    [Chicken] => 23
                    [beef] => 90
                )

 

I think either array_values() may help but I'm not too sure how to use it.

For the first part of your quetions, you could use a foreach() loop to create the associative array. For example:

 

<?php
//INITIALIZE VARIABLES
$originalArray = array('meat', 'veggies', 'candy');
$newArray      = array();

//CREATE THE ASSOCIATIVE ARRAY
foreach($originalArray as $currItem) {
$newArray[$currItem] = '';
}

//SHOW VARIABLES
var_dump($originalArray) . '<br />';
var_dump($newArray);
?>
