I'm working with an array of data that I've changed the names of some array keys, but I want the data to stay the same basically... Basically I want to be able to keep the data that's in the array stored in the DB, but I want to update the array key names associated with it.
Previously the array would have looked like this: $var_opts['services'] = array('foo-1', 'foo-2', 'foo-3', 'foo-4');
Now the array keys are no longer prefixed with "foo", but rather with "bar" instead. So how can I update the array variable to get rid of the "foos" and replace with "bars" instead?
Like so: $var_opts['services'] = array('bar-1', 'bar-2', 'bar-3', 'bar-4');
I'm already using if(isset($var_opts['services']['foo-1'])) { unset($var_opts['services']['foo-1']); }
to get rid of the foos... I just need to figure out how to replace each foo with a bar.
I thought I would use str_replace on the whole array, but to my dismay it only works on strings (go figure, heh) and not arrays.
