I was trying to figure out how to normalize an array with numerical keys. Since I was doing for() for a lot of things, but only replacing it if the conditions were right, I wound up with off ball arrays I couldn't access. That being said, I looked for a method of normalizing the array and couldn't find one, so I built my own. I'm not sure how to go about making it recursive, but I didn't need that feature for my own, so I just went without recursion.
//This will take array([5] => "test1", [4] => "test2", [9] => "test3") into array([0] => "test1", [1] => "test2", [2] => "test3") so you can access it easier.
function normalize_array($array){
$newarray = array();
$array_keys = array_keys($array);
$i=0;
foreach($array_keys as $key){
$newarray[$i] = $array[$key];
$i++;
}
return $newarray;
}
