Anyone know of an easy way to rename an associative array key in place?
array( 'vegetable'=>'lettuce', 'fruit'=>'coconut', 'bean'=>'chickpea',
'grain'=>'corn' )
I want the third element to be 'legume'=>'chickpea', but it seems to
involve rebuilding the array...?
What you can do is first identify the key/value pair you want to change.
Then read out the value, then use unset($array['key']), then add the
saved value to the array with the desired key name.
Is there an easier way? Maybe...I'd just open the main page for the
array functions in the PHP documentation and go down the list if there
is anything that can do that in one line of code. I have it open and
browsed through the list and the only somewhat likely candidate is
array_splice...but I cannot figure anything out with these hypothetical
examples that the PHP documentation always has.
My first proposal will for sure work.
