Compress a php array
- by Derek Adair
I need to take an array that looks something like ...
array( 11 => "fistVal", 19 => "secondVal", 120=> "thirdVal", 200 =>"fourthVal");
and convert it to...
array( 0 => "fistVal", 1 => "secondVal", 2=> "thirdVal", 3 =>"fourthVal");
This is what I came up with -
function compressArray($array){
if(count($array){
$counter = 0;
$compressedArray = array();
foreach($array as $cur){
$compressedArray[$count] = $cur;
$count++;
}
return $compressedArray;
} else {
return false;
}
}
I'm just curious if there is any built-in functionality in php or neat tricks to do this.
