Or,
function new_arr(array $arr)

if ($count % 2 != 0) throw new Exception('The new_arr() function
requires an even number of elements.');
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i += 2)
{
$new_arr[$arr[$i]] = $arr[$i + 1];
}
return $new_arr;
}
$test = new_arr(array('k1', 'v1', 'k2', 'v2', 'k3', 'v3'));
exit(var_dump($test));
