Or:
$a = array ('Cats', 'white', 'Dogs', 'black', 'Mice', 'grey', 'Camels', 'brown');
$b = ''; // Just in case it has some leftover value
$k = 2* (int) (count ($a)/2); // ensure even no of terms
$i = 0; while ($i < $k)
{
$b[$a[$i++]] = $a[$i++]; // ***
}
And this works:
$i = 0; $k = array_keys($b);
while ($i < count($b)) { echo '<h5>'.$i.': '.$k[$i].' = '. $b[$k[$i++]].'</h5>'; }
0: Cats = white
1: Dogs = black
2: Mice = grey
3: Camels = brown
( *** I have always been wary of using statements like this because I was unsure when the
incrementing would occur, so I tried it.)
