$commentFkids = Array
(
    "373_375" => 1,//double quotes missing 
    "380_382" => 2//double quotes missing

?>

We need to insert a file something like this

Desired Output

<?php
    $itemFkids = Array
    (
        "203_19" => "i27",//notices the double quotes here
        "207_22" => "i28",
        "357_22" => "i99",
        .
        .
        .

        .
        .
.

    ),//notice a comma here
    $demoFkids = Array
    (
        "129_2" => "b1"//notices the double quotes here
    ),//notice a comma here
    $commentFkids = Array
    (
        "373_375" => "1",
        "380_382" => "2"//notices the double quotes here
    ),//notice a comma here
    ?>

I did try to search in google and other php websites but did not find much about this .
So I would really appreciate IF YOU CAN EDIT MY CODE and make this work .
Thank you in advance 🙂

    You should use a database, in my opinion.
    At any rate I think a foreach would work if a better solution is not found.

    Example:

    $second_array = array();
    
    foreach($first_array as $key => $value){
        $second_array[$key]='&quot;'.$value.'&quot;';
    }
    

    This is assuming the quotes are for html display.
