Make Each Value An Array

[silkfire]

I have this simple problem. How do I convert an array from this:

 

array('item1', 'item2', 'item3');

 

to

 

array(
array('value' => 'item1'),
array('value' => 'item2'),
array('value' => 'item3')
)

$arr = array('item1', 'item2', 'item3');
$newarr = array();
foreach($arr AS $a){
   $newarr[] = array('value'=>$a);
}

 

Why?
