PHP's array_map including keys

Question

Is there a way of doing something like this:

$test_array = array(\"first_key\" => \"first_value\", 
                    \"second_key\" => \"second_valu         


        

Answer 1

With PHP5.3 or later:

$test_array = array("first_key" => "first_value", 
                    "second_key" => "second_value");

var_dump(
    array_map(
        function($key) use ($test_array) { return "$key loves ${test_array[$key]}"; },
        array_keys($test_array)
    )
);

Answer 2

Look here! There is a trivial solution!

function array_map2(callable $f, array $a)
{
    return array_map($f, array_keys($a), $a);
}

As stated in the question, array_map already has exactly the functionality required. The other answers here seriously overcomplicate things: array_walk is not functional.

Usage

Exactly as you would expect from your example:

$test_array = array("first_key" => "first_value", 
                    "second_key" => "second_value");

var_dump(array_map2(function($a, $b) { return "$a loves $b"; }, $test_array));

Answer 3

This is how I've implemented this in my project.

function array_map_associative(callable $callback, $array) {
    /* map original array keys, and call $callable with $key and value of $key from original array. */
    return array_map(function($key) use ($callback, $array){
        return $callback($key, $array[$key]);
    }, array_keys($array));
}

Answer 4

I always like the javascript variant of array map. The most simple version of it would be:

/**
 * @param  array    $array
 * @param  callable $callback
 * @return array
 */
function arrayMap(array $array, callable $callback)
{
    $newArray = [];

    foreach( $array as $key => $value )
    {
        $newArray[] = call_user_func($callback, $value, $key, $array);
    }

    return $newArray;
}

So now you can just pass it a callback function how to construct the values.

$testArray = [
    "first_key" => "first_value", 
    "second_key" => "second_value"
];

var_dump(
    arrayMap($testArray, function($value, $key) {
        return $key . ' loves ' . $value;
    });
);

Answer 5

Based on eis's answer, here's what I eventually did in order to avoid messing the original array:

$test_array = array("first_key" => "first_value",
                    "second_key" => "second_value");

$result_array = array();
array_walk($test_array, 
           function($a, $b) use (&$result_array) 
           { $result_array[] = "$b loves $a"; }, 
           $result_array);
var_dump($result_array);

Answer 6

Another way of doing this with(out) preserving keys:

$test_array = [
    "first_key"     => "first_value",
    "second_key"    => "second_value"
];

$f = function($ar) {
    return array_map(
        function($key, $val) {
            return "{$key} - {$val}";
        },
        array_keys($ar),
        $ar
    );
};

#-- WITHOUT preserving keys
$res = $f($test_array);

#-- WITH preserving keys
$res = array_combine(
    array_keys($test_array),
    $f($test_array)
);
