php_joe Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 This may be a stupidly ignorant question, but is there a simple way of switching two members in an array without disturbing the rest of the array? For example: <? // Begin with: $array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four'); // End with: $newarray = array('one', 'three', 'two', 'four'); ?> I guess I could do something like this: <? // Begin with: $array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four'); foreach($array as $key => $value) { if($key == 1) $newarray[$key] = $array[$key+1]; else if($key == 2) $newarray[$key] = $array[$key-1]; else $newarray[$key] = $value; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71396-solved-switching-members-in-an-array/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 <?php $array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four'); function array_swap(&$arr, $n1, $n2) { $tmp = $arr[$n1]; $arr[$n1] = $arr[$n2]; $arr[$n2] = $tmp; } array_swap ($array, 1, 2); echo '<pre>', print_r($array, true), '</pre>'; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/71396-solved-switching-members-in-an-array/#findComment-359330 Share on other sites More sharing options...
