How do you reindex an array in PHP but with indexes starting from 1?

I have the following array, which I would like to reindex so the keys are reversed (ideally starting at 1):

Current array (edit: the array actually looks like this):

Array (

[2] => Object
    (
        [title] => Section
        [linked] => 1
    )

[1] => Object
    (
        [title] => Sub-Section
        [linked] => 1
    )

[0] => Object
    (
        [title] => Sub-Sub-Section
        [linked] => 
    )

)

How it should be:

Array (

[1] => Object
    (
        [title] => Section
        [linked] => 1
    )

[2] => Object
    (
        [title] => Sub-Section
        [linked] => 1
    )

[3] => Object
    (
        [title] => Sub-Sub-Section
        [linked] => 
    )

)

If you want to re-index starting to zero, simply do the following:

$iZero = array_values($arr);

If you need it to start at one, then use the following:

$iOne = array_combine(range(1, count($arr)), array_values($arr));

Here are the manual pages for the functions used:

  • array_values()
  • array_combine()
  • range()

Here is the best way:

# Array
$array = array('tomato', '', 'apple', 'melon', 'cherry', '', '', 'banana');

that returns

Array
(
    [0] => tomato
    [1] => 
    [2] => apple
    [3] => melon
    [4] => cherry
    [5] => 
    [6] => 
    [7] => banana
)

by doing this

$array = array_values(array_filter($array));

you get this

Array
(
    [0] => tomato
    [1] => apple
    [2] => melon
    [3] => cherry
    [4] => banana
)

Explanation

array_values() : Returns the values of the input array and indexes numerically.

array_filter() : Filters the elements of an array with a user-defined function (UDF If none is provided, all entries in the input table valued FALSE will be deleted.)


I just found out you can also do a

array_splice($ar, 0, 0);

That does the re-indexing inplace, so you don't end up with a copy of the original array.


Why reindexing? Just add 1 to the index:

foreach ($array as $key => $val) {
    echo $key + 1, '<br>';
}

Edit   After the question has been clarified: You could use the array_values to reset the index starting at 0. Then you could use the algorithm above if you just want printed elements to start at 1.
