Question

Lets suppose i have the following array submitted by a html form:

array(
    'firstname' => array('Sara','Jim'),
    'lastname'  => array('Gibson','Jobs')
);

What i wanna achieve is the following array:

array(
    array(
        'firstname' => 'sara',
        'lastname'  => 'Gibson'
    ),
    array(
        'firstname' => 'Jim',
        'lastname'  => 'Jim'
    )
);

I need a function to automatically sort the array not manually by entering data but automatically processing array data.

I don’t see anything wrong with @Tim Cooper’s solution, but if you don’t want to mention the keys manually, you can also use:

$new_arr = array();
foreach ($arr as $key => $value)
{
  foreach ($value as $numkey => $value2)
  {
    $new_arr[$numkey][$key] = $value2;
  }
}
