This function combines two arrays where the first array is treated as the key and the second array as the contents of the said table. The syntax goes like this : array_combine(array1,array2), wherein the array1 is the table which contains the keys values, and the array2 is the contents. It should be noted that these two tables or array’s should have equal amounts of contents for it would become problematic if there was an error in the combination process. An example of the process is shown below:
$a1=array('a','b','c','d') $a2=array2("Mouse","Rat","Rodent","Mice") print_r(array_combine($a1,$a2)) ?>The output of which would give us a single table :
Array ( [a] => Mouse [b] => Rat [c] => Rodent [d] => Mice )The function combined the two tables giving a single table that combines the keys and the contents. More in-depth discussion on the different array functions which in future posts would be the backbone of applications we will be building.
