• The array_combine() function creates an array by using one
array for the keys and another for the values.
• array_combine(keys, values)

<?php
$name=array("Manoj","Rahul","Aneesh");
$marks=array("75","89","44");

Array ( [c] => Node js [d] => HTML ) [2] => Array ( [e] =>
CSS [f] => ASP.NET ) )
array_count_values()
• The array_count_values() function counts all the values of
an array.
• Syntax is: array_count_values(array)

36");
print_r(array_count_values($a));
?>
OUTPUT:
Array ( [Block 33] => 1 [Block 34] => 2 [Block 36] => 2 )
array_diff()
• The array_diff() function compares the values of two (or
more) arrays, and returns the differences.

• This function compares the values of two (or more)

arrays, and return an array that contains the entries from
array1 that are not present in array2 or array3, etc.

• array_diff(array1, array2, array3, ...)

array_diff()
<?php
$a1=array("a"=>"red","b"=>"green","c"=>"blue","d"=>"yellow");

print_r($result);
?>
array_flip()
• The array_flip() function flips/exchanges all keys with their
associated values in an array i.e value become keys and
keys become values.
• Syntax is:- array_flip(array)

<?php
$a1=array("a"=>"red","b"=>"green","c"=>"blue","d"=>"yellow");
$result=array_flip($a1);
print_r($result);
?>
OUTPUT:
Array ( [red] => a [green] => b [blue] => c [yellow] => d )
array_flip()

?>

OUTPUT:
Array ( [red] => 0 [green] => 1 [blue] => 2 [yellow] => 3 )
 array_flip() function
The array_flip() function is used to swap the keys and
values of the array.
Since the original array $a1 only contains values and no
keys are explicitly defined, the keys will be automatically
assigned as 0, 1, 2, and 3 (the index positions).
After flipping, these keys become the values, and the
original values become the keys.

from array1 that are present in array2, array3, etc.
