PHP array() function

PHP Array Functions
PHP provides various array functions to access and manipulate the elements of array. The important PHP array functions are given below.

PHP array() function

PHP array() function creates and returns an array. It allows you to create indexed, associative and multidimensional arrays.

Syntax

array array ([ mixed $... ] ) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");    
echo "Season are: $season[0], $season[1], $season[2] and $season[3]";    
?> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

Season are: summer, winter, spring and autumn

PHP array_change_key_case() function

PHP array_change_key_case() function changes the case of all key of an array.

Note: It changes case of key only.

Syntax

array array_change_key_case ( array $array [, int $case = CASE_LOWER ] ) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");    
print_r(array_change_key_case($salary,CASE_UPPER));   
?> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

Array ( [SONOO] => 550000 [VIMAL] => 250000 [RATAN] => 200000 )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");    
print_r(array_change_key_case($salary,CASE_LOWER));   
?>  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

Array ( [sonoo] => 550000 [vimal] => 250000 [ratan] => 200000 )
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PHP array_chunk() function

PHP array_chunk() function splits array into chunks. By using array_chunk() method, you can divide array into many parts.

Syntax

array array_chunk ( array $array , int $size [, bool $preserve_keys = false ] )  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");    
print_r(array_chunk($salary,2));   
?> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

Array ( 
[0] => Array ( [0] => 550000 [1] => 250000 ) 
[1] => Array ( [0] => 200000 )
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PHP count() function

PHP count() function counts all elements in an array.

Syntax

int count ( mixed $array_or_countable [, int $mode = COUNT_NORMAL ] ) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");    
echo count($season);    
?>   
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

4

PHP sort() function

PHP sort() function sorts all the elements in an array.

Syntax

bool sort ( array &$array [, int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR ] )  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");    
sort($season);  
foreach( $season as $s )    
{    
  echo "$s<br />";    
}    
?> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

autumn
spring
summer
winter
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PHP array_reverse() function

PHP array_reverse() function returns an array containing elements in reversed order.

Syntax

array array_reverse ( array $array [, bool $preserve_keys = false ] ) 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");    
$reverseseason=array_reverse($season);  
foreach( $reverseseason as $s )    
{    
  echo "$s<br />";    
}    
?> 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output:

autumn
spring
winter
summer
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

PHP array_search() function
PHP array_search() function searches the specified value in an array. It returns key if search is successful.

Syntax

mixed array_search ( mixed $needle , array $haystack [, bool $strict = false ] )  
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Example

<?php    
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");

<?php    
$name1=array("sonoo","john","vivek","smith");    
$name2=array("umesh","sonoo","kartik","smith");
