I would like to build $goal array from $initial only. Any ideas? Thank you
Edit : the question could be how to differentiate associative parts from sequential ones.
$intial=[
"one",
"two"=>"myTwo",
"three",
"four"=>"myFour"
];
$goal=[
"one"=>null,
"two"=>"myTwo",
"three"=>null,
"four"=>"myFour"
];
The 'sequential' parts will have numeric keys, so if your 'associative' keys will always be strings, you could use that to differentiate:
$goal = [];
foreach ($initial as $key => $value) {
if (is_numeric($key)) {
$goal[$value] = null;
} else {
$goal[$key] = $value;
}
}
