array_fill_keys
To better handle the problem of sparse array completion mentioned a couple years ago...
What you really need in this scenario is an empty array containing all the desired keys, and a sparse array containing the keys and values you want overridden. This PHP5 function does that. (The PEAR package PHP_Compat should be able to fill in the gap -- array_combine() -- for a 4.3 install, if necessary.)
<?php
function array_complete(
$keys="", // array of keys you need filled, in order
$sparse="" // sparse array to override blanks
)
{
if(!is_array($sparse))
$sparse=array();
if(!is_array($keys))
return $sparse;
return array_merge(
array_combine( // create an associative array
$keys, // your list of keys
array_fill( // blank value for each key
0,count(
$keys
),""
)
),$sparse // merge with your incomplete array
);
}
?>
This merges in your sparse array (inserting any additional keys in that array after the ones you've specified), placing its values in the key order you specify, leaving all the other values blank.
Test call: var_dump(array_complete(array("test1", "test2", "test3", "test4", "test5"), array("test3" => "test3", "test1" => "test1", "garbage" => "garbage")));
Result: array(6) {
["test1"]=>
string(5) "test1"
["test2"]=>
string(0) ""
["test3"]=>
string(5) "test3"
["test4"]=>
string(0) ""
["test5"]=>
string(0) ""
["garbage"]=>
string(7) "garbage"
}
array_fill
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
array_fill — 배열을 특정값으로 채운다
설명
array array_fill
( int $start_index
, int $num
, mixed $value
)
array_fill()은 배열은 value 매개변수의 값, start_index 로 시작되는 키의 num 엔트리들로 채운다. num 는 0보다 큰 수가 되어야 하고, 그렇지 않으면 PHP 는 경고를 보여준다.
Example#1 array_fill() 예제코드
<?php
$a = array_fill(5, 6, 'banana');
print_r($a);
?>
$a 는 현재 다음과 같다:
Array ( [5] => banana [6] => banana [7] => banana [8] => banana [9] => banana [10] => banana )
str_repeat(), range() 참고.

This is what I recently did to quickly create a two dimensional array (10x10), initialized to 0:
<?php
$a = array_fill(0, 10, array_fill(0, 10, 0));
?>
This should work for as many dimensions as you want, each time passing to array_fill() (as the 3rd argument) another array_fill() function.

For PHP < 4.2.0 users:
Add this to your script:
if (!function_exists('array_fill')) {
require_once('array_fill.func.php');
}
and the array_fill.func.php file:
<?php
// For PHP version < 4.2.0 missing the array_fill function,
// I provide here an alternative. -Philippe
function array_fill($iStart, $iLen, $vValue) {
$aResult = array();
for ($iCount = $iStart; $iCount < $iLen + $iStart; $iCount++) {
$aResult[$iCount] = $vValue;
}
return $aResult;
}
?>

array_fill() cannot be used to setup only missing keys in an array. This may be necessary for example before using implode() on a sparse filled array.
The solution is to use this function:
<?php
function array_setkeys(&$array, $fill = NULL) {
$indexmax = -1;
for (end($array); $key = key($array); prev($array)) {
if ($key > $indexmax)
$indexmax = $key;
}
for ($i = 0; $i <= $indexmax; $i++) {
if (!isset($array[$i]))
$array[$i] = $fill;
}
ksort($array);
}
?>
This is usefull in some situations where you don't know which key index was filled and you want to preserve the association between a positioned field in an imploded array and the key index when exploding it.
