If you want to implode an array as key-value pairs, this method comes in handy.
The third parameter is the symbol to be used between key and value.
<?php
function mapped_implode($glue, $array, $symbol = '=') {
return implode($glue, array_map(
function($k, $v) use($symbol) {
return $k . $symbol . $v;
},
array_keys($array),
array_values($array)
)
);
}
$arr = [
'x'=> 5,
'y'=> 7,
'z'=> 99,
'hello' => 'World',
7 => 'Foo',
];
echo mapped_implode(', ', $arr, ' is ');
// output: x is 5, y is 7, z is 99, hello is World, 7 is Foo
?>
<?php
$a = array('green', 'red', 'yellow');
$b = array('avocado', 'apple', 'banana');
$c = array_combine($a, $b);
print_r($c);
?>
