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 $... ] )
Example
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
echo "Season are: $season[0], $season[1], $season[2] and $season[3]";
?>
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 ] )
Example
<?php
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");
print_r(array_change_key_case($salary,CASE_UPPER));
?>
Output:
Array ( [SONOO] => 550000 [VIMAL] => 250000 [RATAN] => 200000 )
Example
<?php
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");
print_r(array_change_key_case($salary,CASE_LOWER));
?>
Output:
Array ( [sonoo] => 550000 [vimal] => 250000 [ratan] => 200000 )
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 ] )
Example
<?php
$salary=array("Sonoo"=>"550000","Vimal"=>"250000","Ratan"=>"200000");
print_r(array_chunk($salary,2));
?>
Output:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => 550000 [1] => 250000 )
[1] => Array ( [0] => 200000 )
)
PHP count() function
PHP count() function counts all elements in an array.
Syntax
int count ( mixed $array_or_countable [, int $mode = COUNT_NORMAL ] )
Example
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
echo count($season);
?>
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 ] )
Example
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
sort($season);
foreach( $season as $s )
{
echo "$s<br />";
}
?>
Output:
autumn
spring
summer
winter
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 ] )
Example
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
$reverseseason=array_reverse($season);
foreach( $reverseseason as $s )
{
echo "$s<br />";
}
?>
Output:
autumn
spring
winter
summer
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 ] )
Example
<?php
$season=array("summer","winter","spring","autumn");
$key=array_search("spring",$season);
echo $key;
?>
Output:
2
PHP array_intersect() function
PHP array_intersect() function returns the intersection of two array. In other words, it returns the matching elements of two array.
Syntax
array array_intersect ( array $array1 , array $array2 [, array $... ] )
Example
<?php
$name1=array("sonoo","john","vivek","smith");
$name2=array("umesh","sonoo","kartik","smith");
$name3=array_intersect($name1,$name2);
foreach( $name3 as $n )
{
echo "$n<br />";
}
?>
Output:
sonoo
smith
