How to Reindex an Array in PHP?

Problem:

You have an indexed array. Some values from this array are removed. See the following array. Now, you want to re-index the array, meaning serialize the keys staring keys from 0 and incrementing by 1. 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

$cars = array(     2 => “Alco”,     3 => “Alesia”,     4 => “BAZ”,     7 => “BMW”,     10 => “Chery”,     11 => “Eagle” )

Solution:

array_values() function will help you re-index the array and sort the keys from 0 serially. See the following example-

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

<pre> <?php $cars = array(     2 => "Alco",     3 => "Alesia",     4 => "BAZ",     7 => "BMW",     10 => "Chery",     11 => "Eagle" );   $cars = array_values($cars); print_r($cars); ?> </pre>

Output:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Array(      [0] => Alco      [1] => Alesia      [2] => BAZ      [3] => BMW      [4] => Chery      [5] => Eagle )
