using a foreach loop:

 <?php 

    $a = array('1'=>'one','2'=>'two','3'=>'three');

    $tmp = array();

    foreach($a as $key=>$value){
        $tmp[$value] = $key;

    }

?>

Use array_flip: 

$a = array('one'=>1,'two'=>2,'three'=>3);
$a_flipped = array_flip($a);

If you insist on using a loop, then create a new empty array, iterate through the given array and fill the new array using values as keys, i.e.: 

$a = array('one'=>1,'two'=>2,'three'=>3);
$a_flipped = array();
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
    $a_flipped[$value] = $key;
}
