Insert index/Keys into an array

Question

D

Could you give a an advice how to insert keys/index to a an array in a specific order as you can se.... I would like to in the result index the values id1 = 3 id2 = 4 id3 = 5. How do I do that? This code

public static function getTest($ids){ $input = array(); foreach ($ids as $id) { $input['result'] = $ids; } $result = array('status'=>"success", 'message'=>"blah blah", 'result'=> $ids ); var_dump($result); return $result; }

produces this (getTest is called from another file and it gives out array(3,4,5))

array(3) { ["status"]=> string(7) "success" ["message"]=> string(9) "blah blah" ["result"]=> array(3) { [0]=> int(3) [1]=> int(4) [2]=> int(5) } }

that was me trying to make it work...it gives out the mentioned output without all of this $input =array( ); foreach ($ids as $id) { $input['result']=$ids; } — Rene

If you create an array the elements are in the order you added them:

$a = array(); $a[2] = 2; $a[1] = 1; $a[9] = 9; var_dump($a); // array(3) { [2]=> int(2) [1]=> int(1) [9]=> int(9) }

I am not really sure what you want but have a look here the page always helps my lot.

Response to comment: Try this

foreach ($ids as $key => $id) { $input['result']['ID'.$key] = $id; }

I have this getTest::(array(3,4,5)); in the controller file, and it gives out the array to the get test function in an Api class. I want to getTest to give me an array in a orderly fashion back to the controller. Like this array(3) { ["status"]=> string(7) "success" ["message"]=> string(9) "blah blah" ["result"]=> array(3) { [ID1]=> int(3) [ID2]=> int(4) [ID3]=> int(5) } }
