[PHP] get new format of arrays

[Avast]

Hey guys,

i need some help/advice for formatting arrays.

Actually my arrays look like this:

 array(array(product => 14 , amount => 4),array(product => 12 , amount => 9));

Now i want them like this:

array('14' => array(amount => 4),'12' => array(amount => 9));

How could this be done?
I'm to deep in the code, so i'm not able to see a solution for this.

In PHP you always need to use quotes. You are missing the quotes around "amount".

Forgot them, I just wanted to show the scheme 😉

Then I don't understand the question. In the first one you have implicit indexes (0, 1, etc.) and in the second one you have explicit indexes (14, 12, etc). But at the end I don't understand the question I mean what is the problem with structure A and B?

Yeah, sorry my brain was tired.

The simple solution for a different format of an array :

$cart = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
    $cart[$value["product"]] = $value["amount"];
}

It takes the old array ($array) with implicit indexes and converts it into an array with explicit indexes.

Now I understand, you wanted to convert A to B. 😛
