Hi everyone,

I have a bit of an array headache going on. The function does what I want, but since I am not yet to well acquainted with PHP:s array/looping functions, so thereby my question is if there's any part of this function that could be improved from a performance-wise perspective?

I tried to be as complete as possible in my descriptions in each stage of the functions which shortly described prefixes all keys in an array, fill up eventual empty/non-valid keys with '' and removes the prefixes before returning the array:

$var = myFunction ( array('key1', 'key2', 'key3', '111') );

function myFunction ($keys) {
    $prefix = 'prefix_';

    $keyCount = count($keys);

    // Prefix each key and remove old keys
    for($i=0;$i<$keyCount; $i++){
        $keys[] = $prefix.$keys[$i];
        unset($keys[$i]);
    }
    // output: array('prefix_key1', 'prefix_key2', 'prefix_key3', '111)

    // Get all keys from memcached. Only returns valid keys
    $items  = $this->memcache->get($keys);
    // output: array('prefix_key1' => 'value1', 'prefix_key2' => 'value2', 'prefix_key3'=>'value3)
    // note: key 111 was not found in memcache.

    // Fill upp eventual keys that are not valid/empty from memcache
    $return = $items + array_fill_keys($keys, '');
    // output: array('prefix_key1' => 'value1', 'prefix_key2' => 'value2', 'prefix_key3'=>'value3, 'prefix_111' => '')

    // Remove the prefixes for each result before returning array to application
    foreach ($return as $k => $v) {
        $expl = explode($prefix, $k);   
        $return[$expl[1]] = $v;
        unset($return[$k]);
    }

    // output: array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3'=>'value3, '111' => '')

    return $return;

}

Thanks a lot!
