Question

I have two arrays.

ArrayA is numeric

(ArrayA => 3, 7, 8)

ArrayB is an associative array

(1=>bread, 2=>banana, 3=>fruit, 4=> milk, 5=>pizza, 6=> gum, 7=>corn, 8=>lager)

I want to create a third array, ArrayC, associative, that matches the Values of ArrayA with ArrayB keys, and gives ArrayA keys the relevant ArrayB values.

In other words, from this example

ArrayC (3 => fruit, 7=>corn, 8=>lager)

However my code is only giving me

ArrayC (3 => lager, 7=>lager, 8=>lager) //last value of ArrayB

Code:

     $ArrayC = array();
     foreach ($ArrayB as $keyB => $valueB) {
          foreach ($ArrayA as $valueA) {
             if ( $valueA = $keyB) {
                   $ArrayC [$valueA] = $valueB;
             }
          }
      }
      print_r($ArrayC);

Answer 1

First: if need compare with ==, not with = (it set value).

Second: this is a better version of code:

// The keys that you want copy from ArrayB
$ArrayA = array(3, 7, 8);
// The values that will be copied
$ArrayB = array(1 => 'bread', 2 => 'banana', 3 => 'fruit',
                4 => 'milk', 5 => 'pizza', 6 => 'gum', 7 => 'corn',
                8 => 'lager');
// The filtered array (based on ArrayA and ArrayB)
$ArrayC = array();

// For each ArrayA values (3, 7 and 8), trigger this routine
// setting ArrayKey as each value of ArrayA, one for time
foreach($ArrayA as $ArrayKey) {
    // Basically: $ArrayC [3] = $ArrayB [3]; (...)
    $ArrayC [$ArrayKey] = $ArrayB [$ArrayKey];
} 

// Final result will be:
// $ArrayC = array( 3 => 'fruit', 7 => 'corn', 8 => 'lager' );
