array_combine modification

[jjfletch]

When I print_r($_POST) to determine what's being posted from my form, I get this:

Array ( [name] => Array ( [0] => Joe [1] => [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => ) [animal] => Array ( [0] => Dog  [1] => Cat [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => ) [submit] => Validez ) 

Then, I array_combine to (duh) combine the arrays, and I get this:

Array ( [Joe] => Dog [] => ) 

I'd like to get this:

Array ( [Joe] => Dog [] => Cat) 

Anyone know how I can accomplish this?

If I understand you right, you want to combine the elements in the array assigned to $_POST['name'] and the elements in the array assigned to $_POST['animal'], so that the $_POST['name'] elements become the keys and $_POST['animal'] elements become the values.

Is that right?

I think array_combine will work for you. You said you tried it but you didn't show us the code you used.

if (is_array($_POST['name']) && is_array($_POST['animal'])) {
    $newArray = array_combine($_POST['name'], $_POST['animal']);
} 

That should work fine.

p.s. Wrapping print_r() in <pre> tags makes it readable.

print "<pre>\n";
print_r($_POST);
print </pre>\n";
