Use an array of keys and an array of values to form an associative array

I want to merge two arrays where first array will be keys and second array will be values in result array.

$array1 = array('k1', 'k2');
$array2 = array('v1', 'v2');

output should be:

array(
    'k1' => 'v1',
    'k2' => 'v2',
)

array_combine() function in php is most simplest way to do this: 

$array1 =array('k1','k2');
$array2 =array('v1','v2'); 

$result_array =  array_combine ($array1, $array2);

You can use the array_combine function. This function uses one array for keys, and one array for values.

You can use it as:

array_combine ( $keys, $values );

In your case it would be:

$array1 =array('k1','k2');
$array2 =array('v1','v2'); 

$combined_array = array_combine ( $array1, $array2 );

<?php
$a1=array("a","b","c","d");
$a2=array("Cat","Dog","Horse","Cow");
print_r(array_combine($a1,$a2));
?>

You use the built in array_combine function

$keys   = array('k1','k2');
$values = array('v1','v2'); 
$result = array_combine ($keys, $values);
