Fastest way to add prefix to array keys?

I have an array that does like this:

0 => value 1,
1 => value 2,

I want to done like this:

keyname1 => value 1,
keyname2 => value 2,

In the mySQL database, all the columns have names but the array is using numbers instead of names. Is there a PHP or mySQL command that tells it how to write the keys?

In response to your comment:

You’re retrieving data from a mySQL database, so you can just fetch the data as an associative array:

PDO:

//just as an example
$stmt = $pdo->prepare('SELECT foo, bar from foobar.foobaz WHERE xyz = :xyz');
$stmt->execute(array(':xyz' => $someValue));
$results = array();
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
    array_push($results, $row);
}

That should do it. Of course, there is mysql_fetch_assoc, but since the mysql_* extension is deprecated, I’m not going to bother with that, just switch to PDO, if you haven’t already.

If you’re not comfortable with PDO for some reason, look into mysqli_*, in which case the loop looks like this:

while($row = $stmt->fetch_assoc())
{//using OO api
    array_push($results, $row);
}
//or
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{//using OO api
    array_push($results, $row);
}
