Hi

Just a little problem. How do I combine an array of filenames with an array of numbers?

That is,

$filenames =array("file1", .........);
$numbers = array("23",..............);

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you mean merge them, or something else?

Hi

Thanks for that.

Merge them to produce

$result = array("file1", "23", etc........);

Thanks.

An array may contain values of different types, so array_merge() should work.

Both your arrays use string values though, since "23" is a string too (unlike 23 without quotes).

If you want the array in the exact order as your sample, then I think you need to write your own function. array_merge() will work if you don't mind appending the 2nd array to the end of the 1st array.
