I'm trying to rename the parent keys in a Multidimensional Array to the value of a child key.
For example in the code below I would like to change the key [0] to [111] and the key [1] to [222] so it is easy for me to identify keys later for an array merge.
Array (
[0] => Array ( [product_id] => 111 [product_name] => Foo [quantity] => 4 )
[1] => Array ( [product_id] => 222 [product_name] => Bar [quantity] => 2 )
)
I've tried various ways of doing this but after entering a loop, I can't work out how to affect the parent key and assume it's impossible after passing it to a variable. Is there an easy solution to change the key I am missing or is it a case of entering the loop and rebuilding a new array with the desired key?
One-line solution using
array_combine
and array_column
functions:$result = array_combine(array_column($arr, 'product_id'), $arr);
print_r($result);
The output:
Array
(
[111] => Array
(
[product_id] => 111
[product_name] => Foo
[quantity] => 4
)
[222] => Array
(
[product_id] => 222
[product_name] => Bar
[quantity] => 2
)
)
