Tips and Notes
Tip: You can assign one array to the function, or as many as you like.
Example 1
<?php
function myfunction($v)
{
if ($v==="Dog")
{
return "Fido";
}
return $v;
}
$a=array("Horse","Dog","Cat");
print_r(array_map("myfunction",$a));
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Array ( [0] => Horse [1] => Fido [2] => Cat )
|
Example 2
Using the more than one parameter.
<?php
function myfunction($v1,$v2)
{
if ($v1===$v2)
{
return "same";
}
return "different";
}
$a1=array("Horse","Dog","Cat");
$a2=array("Cow","Dog","Rat");
print_r(array_map("myfunction",$a1,$a2));
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Array ( [0] => different [1] => same [2] => different )
|
Example 3
Look what happens if you assign null as the functionname:
<?php
$a1=array("Dog","Cat");
$a2=array("Puppy","Kitten");
print_r(array_map(null,$a1,$a2));
?>
|
The output of the code above will be:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => Dog [1] => Puppy )
[1] => Array ( [0] => Cat [1] => Kitten )
)
