The `array_combine()` function in PHP 8.3 combines two arrays by using one array for keys and another for its values. Here’s a usage example with PHP 8.3.
Syntax
<?php array_combine(array $keys, array $values): array|false ?>
1. $keys: An array of keys.
2. $values: An array of values.
Example
Here’s an example to demonstrate the use of `array_combine()`:
<?php
$keys = ["name", "age", "email"];
$values = ["John Doe", 30, "john.doe@example.com"];
$combinedArray = array_combine($keys, $values);
if ($combinedArray === false) {
echo "The number of elements in the keys and values arrays do not match.";
} else {
print_r($combinedArray);
}
?>
Explanation
1. Arrays to Combine:
– `$keys` contains the keys for the new array.
– `$values` contains the values for the new array.
2. Combining the Arrays:
– `array_combine($keys, $values)` creates a new array where each key from `$keys` is associated with the corresponding value from `$values`.
3. Checking for Errors:
– If the number of elements in `$keys` and `$values` are not the same, `array_combine()` returns `false`.
4. Output:
– If the arrays are combined successfully, it prints the combined array.
Output
<?php Array ( [name] => John Doe [age] => 30 [email] => john.doe@example.com ) ?>
In this example, `array_combine()` successfully combines the keys and values into a single associative array. If the number of keys and values did not match, it would return `false`.
