array_keys

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

array_keys返回数组中所有的键名

说明

array array_keys ( array $input [, mixed $search_value [, bool $strict ]] )

array_keys() 返回 input 数组中的数字或者字符串的键名。

如果指定了可选参数 search_value,则只返回该值的键名。否则 input 数组中的所有键名都会被返回。自 PHP 5 起,可以用 strict 参数来进行全等比较(===)。

Example #1 array_keys() 例子

<?php
$array 
= array(=> 100"color" => "red");
print_r(array_keys($array));

$array = array("blue""red""green""blue""blue");
print_r(array_keys($array"blue"));

$array = array("color" => array("blue""red""green"),
               
"size"  => array("small""medium""large"));
print_r(array_keys($array));
?>

以上例程会输出:

Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => color
)
Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 4
)
Array
(
    [0] => color
    [1] => size
)

参见 array_values()array_key_exists()

参数

input

An array containing keys to return.

search_value

If specified, then only keys containing these values are returned.

strict

Determines if strict comparison (===) should be used during the search.

返回值

Returns an array of all the keys in input.

更新日志

版本 说明
5.0.0 Added the strict parameter.

范例

Example #2 array_keys() example

<?php
$array 
= array(=> 100"color" => "red");
print_r(array_keys($array));

$array = array("blue""red""green""blue""blue");
print_r(array_keys($array"blue"));

$array = array("color" => array("blue""red""green"),
               
"size"  => array("small""medium""large"));
print_r(array_keys($array));
?>

以上例程会输出:

Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => color
)
Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => 3
    [2] => 4
)
Array
(
    [0] => color
    [1] => size
)

It should be noted that the inverse function to keys (which converts keys to values) is array_count_values (which converts values to keys).  This is needed to use things like array_intersect_key.  Could go in several places.  Took me a while to figure it out.

I was trying to figure out how to normalize an array with numerical keys.  Since I was doing for() for a lot of things, but only replacing it if the conditions were right, I wound up with off ball arrays I couldn't access.  That being said, I looked for a method of normalizing the array and couldn't find one, so I built my own.  I'm not sure how to go about making it recursive, but I didn't need that feature for my own, so I just went without recursion.

//This will take array([5] => "test1", [4] => "test2", [9] => "test3") into array([0] => "test1", [1] => "test2", [2] => "test3") so you can access it easier.
        function normalize_array($array){
          $newarray = array();
          $array_keys = array_keys($array);
          $i=0;
          foreach($array_keys as $key){
           $newarray[$i] = $array[$key];
          
          $i++;
          }
          return $newarray;
        }

Simple ways to prefixing arrays;

<?php
function array_keys_prefix($arr, $pref = "") {
   
$rarr = array();
    foreach (
$arr as $key => $val) {
       
$rarr[$pref.$key] = $val;
    }
    return
$rarr;
}

function
array_keys_prefix_multi($arr, $pref = "") {
   
$rarr = array();
    foreach (
$arr as $key => $val) {
       
$rarr[] = array_keys_prefix($val, $pref);
    }
    return
$rarr;
}

// $a = array("foo" => "FOO", "bar" => "BAR", "baz" => "BAZ"); // or
$a = array("foo" => "FOO", "bar" => "BAR", "baz" => array(1,2,3));
print_r(array_keys_prefix($a, "my_"));

// db fetch...
$products = array(
    array(
"id" => 1, "name" => "Foo"),
    array(
"id" => 2, "name" => "Bar")
);
print_r(array_keys_prefix_multi($products, "product_"));
?>

Array
(
    [my_foo] => FOO
    [my_bar] => BAR
    [my_baz] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3
        )

)
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [product_id] => 1
            [product_name] => Foo
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [product_id] => 2
            [product_name] => Bar
        )

)

A needed a function to find the keys which contain part of a string, not equalling a string...

<?php
function array_keys_contain($input, $search_value, $strict = false)
    {
       
$tmpkeys = array();

       
$keys = array_keys($input);

        foreach (
$keys as $k)
        {
            if (
$strict && strpos($k, $search_value) !== FALSE)
               
$tmpkeys[] = $k;
            elseif (!
$strict && stripos($k, $search_value) !== FALSE)
               
$tmpkeys[] = $k;
        }

        return
$tmpkeys;
    }

Sorry for my english...

I wrote a function to get keys of arrays recursivelly...

<?php
   
function recursive_keys($input, $search_value = null){

       
$output = ($search_value !== null ? array_keys($input, $search_value) : array_keys($input)) ;
        foreach(
$input as $sub){
            if(
is_array($sub)){
               
$output = ($search_value !== null ? array_merge($output, recursive_keys($sub, $search_value)) : array_merge($output, recursive_keys($sub))) ;
            }
        }
        return
$output ;
    }
?>

I hope it will be usefull

It's worth noting that if you have keys that are long integer, such as '329462291595', they will be considered as such on a 64bits system, but will be of type string on a 32 bits system.

for example:
<?php

$importantKeys
= array('329462291595' =>null, 'ZZ291595' => null);

foreach(
array_keys($importantKeys) as $key){
    echo
gettype($key)."\n";
}

?>

will return on a 64 bits system:
<?php
    integer
    string
?>

but on a 32 bits system:
<?php
    string
    string
?>

I hope it will save someone the huge headache I had :)

Sometimes we want to find out the last added numerical key right after we use " array_push($array, $value) " or " $array[] = $value ". This can be achieved by calling:

<?php
return array_pop(array_keys($array));
?>

ferrerna at gmail dot com (23-Jan-2009 05:14)

Here's a function I needed to collapse an array, in my case from a database query.  It takes an array that contains key-value pairs and returns an array where they are actually the key and value.

<?php

function array_collapse($arr, $x, $y) {
   
$carr = array();
    while (
$el = current($arr)) {
       
$carr[ $el[$x] ] = $el[$y];
       
next($arr);
    }
    return
$carr;
}

?>

Example usage (pseudo-database code):

<?php

$query
= db_query('SELECT name, value FROM properties');

$result = db_returnAll($query);

/* This will return an array like so:

[
   ['name' -> 'color', 'value' -> 'blue'],
   ['name' -> 'style', 'value' -> 'wide-format'],
   ['name' -> 'weight', 'value' -> 3.6],
   ['name' -> 'name', 'value' -> 'Waerdthing']
]

*/

$propArr = array_collapse($result, 'name', 'value');

/* Now this array looks like:

[
   ['color' -> 'blue'],
   ['style' -> 'wide-format'],
   ['weight' -> 3.6],
   ['name' -> 'Waerdthing'],

*/

?>

I found this handy for using with json_encode and am using it for my project http://squidby.com

An alternative to RQuadling at GMail dot com's array_remove() function:

<?php
function array_remove(array $array, $value, $strict=false)
{
    return
array_diff_key($array, array_flip(array_keys($array, $value, $strict)));
}
?>

RQuadling at GMail dot com (28-Mar-2007 01:31)

If you want to remove a value from an array, then there is no direct mechanism.

The following function uses the array_keys() function to find the key(s) of the value that you want to remove and then removes the elements for that key.

I've also given some examples and the output.

<?php
/**
  * array array_remove ( array input, mixed search_value [, bool strict] )
  **/
function array_remove(array &$a_Input, $m_SearchValue, $b_Strict = False) {
   
$a_Keys = array_keys($a_Input, $m_SearchValue, $b_Strict);
    foreach(
$a_Keys as $s_Key) {
        unset(
$a_Input[$s_Key]);
    }
    return
$a_Input;
}
?>

Beside scalar variables (integers, floats, strings, boolean), you can also use arrays as the values you want to remove.

<?php
// Results in array(8, 8.0, '8', '8.0')
array_remove(array(8, 8.0, '8', '8.0', array(8), array('8')), array(8));

// Results in array(8, 8.0, '8', '8.0', array('8'))
array_remove(array(8, 8.0, '8', '8.0', array(8), array('8')), array(8), True);
?>

This function will extract keys from a multidimensional array

<?php
function multiarray_keys($ar) {
           
    foreach(
$ar as $k => $v) {
       
$keys[] = $k;
        if (
is_array($ar[$k]))
           
$keys = array_merge($keys, multiarray_keys($ar[$k]));
    }
    return
$keys;
}
?>

Example code:

<?php
$array
= array("color" => array("1stcolor" => "blue", "2ndcolor" => "red", "3rdcolor" => "green"),
              
"size"  => array("small", "medium", "large"));

echo
"<pre>";
print_r($array);
echo
"</pre>";

echo
"<pre>";
print_r(multiarray_keys($array));
echo
"</pre>";
?>

Example output:

Array
(
    [color] => Array
        (
            [1stcolor] => blue
            [2ndcolor] => red
            [3rdcolor] => green
        )

    [size] => Array
        (
            [0] => small
            [1] => medium
            [2] => large
        )

)

Array
(
    [0] => color
    [1] => 1stcolor
    [2] => 2ndcolor
    [3] => 3rdcolor
    [4] => size
    [5] => 0
    [6] => 1
    [7] => 2
)

Replace a key in an associative array, preserving the original order of keys and elements:

<?php
if (!function_exists('array_combine')) { // ONLY EXISTS IN PHP5
   
function array_combine($keys, $values) {
        if (
count($keys) != count($values)) {
    return
false; }
        foreach(
$keys as $key) { $array[$key] = array_shift($values); }
    return
$array; }   
}
// END IF FUNCTION EXISTS

$keys = array_keys($array);
$values = array_values($array);
foreach (
$keys as $k => $v) {
    if (
$v == "MANAGEMENT FEE CHARGE") { $keys[$k] = "MANAGEMENT FEES"; }
}
$array = array_combine($keys, $values);
?>

jochem (18-Feb-2006 12:13)

might be worth noting in the docs that not all associative (string) keys are a like, output of the follow bit of code demonstrates - might be a handy introduction to automatic typecasting in php for some people (and save a few headaches):

<?php
$r
= array("0"=>"0","1"=>"1","" =>"2"," "=>"3");
echo
'how php sees this array: array("0"=>"0","1"=>"1","" =>"2"," "=>"3")',"\n-----------\n";
var_dump($r); print_r($r); var_export($r);
echo
"\n-----------\n",'var_dump("0","1",""," ") = ',"\n-----------\n";
var_dump("0","1",""," ");
?>

OUTPUTS:

how php sees this array: array("0"=>"0","1"=>"1","" =>"2"," "=>"3")
-----------
array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(1) "0"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "1"
  [""]=>
  string(1) "2"
  [" "]=>
  string(1) "3"
}
Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => 1
    [] => 2
    [ ] => 3
)
array (
  0 => '0',
  1 => '1',
  '' => '2',
  ' ' => '3',
)
-----------
var_dump("0","1",""," ") =

string(1) "0"

Sven (bitcetera.com) (19-Dec-2005 02:43)

Here's how to get the first key, the last key, the first value or the last value of a (hash) array without explicitly copying nor altering the original array:

<?php
  $array
= array('first'=>'111', 'second'=>'222', 'third'=>'333');

 
// get the first key: returns 'first'
 
print array_shift(array_keys($array));

 
// get the last key: returns 'third'
 
print array_pop(array_keys($array));

 
// get the first value: returns '111'
 
print array_shift(array_values($array));

 
// get the last value: returns '333'
 
print array_pop(array_values($array));
?>

The position of an element.

One can apply array_keys twice to get the position of an element from its key. (This is the reverse of the function by cristianDOTzuddas.) E.g., the following may output "yes, we have bananas at position 0".

<?php
$a
= array("banana" => "yellow", "apple" = "red");
$k = get_some_fruit();
if (isset(
$a[$k]))
{
   list(
$pos) = array_keys(array_keys($a), $k);
   print
"yes, we have {$k}s at position $pos\n";
}
?>

Not amazingly efficient, but I see no better alternative.

I was looking for a function that simply unset a variable amout of values from a one-dimensional array by key. I ended up with this (returns the array itself if no further parameter than the array is given, false with no params - does not change the source array)

usage: array_remove(array $input [, mixed key ...])

<?php

 
function array_remove() {
    if (
$stack = func_get_args()) {
     
$input = array_shift($stack);
      foreach (
$stack as $key) {
        unset(
$input[$key]);
      }
      return
$input;
    }
    return
false;
  }

?>

Test:

<?php
  $a
= array('a'=>'fun', 'b'=>3.14, 'sub'=> array('1', '2', '3'), 'd'=>'what', 'e' => 'xample', 5 => 'x');
 
print_r($a);
 
print_r(array_remove($a, 'd', 'b', 5, 'sub'));
?>

Output:

Array
(
    [a] => fun
    [b] => 3.14
    [sub] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3
        )

    [d] => what
    [e] => xample
    [5] => x
)
Array
(
    [a] => fun
    [e] => xample
)

Hope this helps someone.

My version of PHP does not support the strict parameter. Moreover, I need a function that could make other comparsion different than equals and stricktly equals.

I was looking for a function that deletes either integer keys or string keys (needed for my caching).
As I didn't find a function I came up with my own solution.
I didn't find the propiest function to post to so I will post it here, hope you find it useful.

<?php

function array_extract($array, $extract_type = 1)
{
    foreach (
$array as $key => $value )
    {
        if (
$extract_type == 1 && is_string($key) )
        {
           
// delete string keys
           
unset($array[$key]);
        }
        elseif (
$extract_type == 2 && is_int($key) )
        {
           
// delete integer keys
           
unset($array[$key]);
        }
    }

    return
$array;
}

?>

You can of course define constants to have a nicer look, I have chosen these: EXTR_INT = 1; EXTR_STRING = 2
EXTR_INT will return an array where keys are only integer while
EXTR_STRING will return an array where keys are only string

Have fun with it.

Note, that using array_key_exists() is rather inefficient. The overhead associated with calling a function makes it slower, than using isset($array[$key]), instead of array_key_exists($key, $array)
using isset() is usually about 1.3 times faster, according to my tests.

[Editor's note: For a complete solution to the printing of complex structures or hashes, see the PEAR::Var_Dump package: http://pear.php.net/package-info.php?pacid=103 , use "pear install Var_Dump" to get it]

This function will print all the keys of a multidimensional array in html tables.
It will help to debug when you dont have control of depths.

<?php
function show_keys($ar){

   echo
"<table width='100%' border='1' bordercolor='#6699CC' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5'><tr valign='top'>";

      foreach (
$ar as $k => $v ) {

         echo
"<td align='center' bgcolor='#EEEEEE'>
           <table border='2' cellpadding='3'><tr><td bgcolor='#FFFFFF'><font face='verdana' size='1'>
              "
. $k . "
           </font></td></tr></table>"
;

           if (
is_array($ar[$k])) {
             
show_keys ($ar[$k]);
         }

         echo
"</td>";

      }

   echo
"</tr></table>";

}

// Multidimensional array ->
$arvore = array();
$arvore['1'] = array();
$arvore['1']['1.1'] = array('1.1.1', '1.1.2', '1.1.3');
$arvore['1']['1.2'] = array('1.2.1', '1.2.2', '1.2.3');
$arvore['1']['1.3'] = array('1.3.1', '1.3.2', '1.3.3');
$arvore['2'] = array();
$arvore['2']['2.1'] = array('2.1.1', '2.1.2', '2.1.3');
$arvore['2']['2.2'] = array('2.2.1', '2.2.2', '2.2.3');
$arvore['2']['2.3'] = array('2.3.1', '2.3.2', '2.3.3');
$arvore['3'] = array();
$arvore['3']['3.1'] = array('3.1.1', '3.1.2', '3.1.3');
$arvore['3']['3.2'] = array('3.2.1', '3.2.2', '3.2.3');
$arvore['3']['3.3'] = array('3.3.1', '3.3.2'=>array('3.3.2.1', '3.3.2.2'), '3.3.3');
// <-

show_keys($arvore);
?>

If you receive a bunch of variables and like to change most of them (or all of them for that matter), you can do something like this: (data has been sent to a page with POST)

<?php
$allKeys
= array_keys($HTTP_POST_VARS);

for (
$i=0;$i<count($allKeys);$i++)
{
      $
$allKeys[$i] = strtoupper($HTTP_POST_VARS[$allKeys[$i]]);
}
?>

This makes caracters (a-z) uppercase. This is just one way to use it, ofcourse.

Hope this helps someone understand the way to use array_keys() or give any ideas. :)

All the cool notes are gone from the site.

Here's an example of how to get all the variables passed to your program using the method on this page. This prints them out so you can see what you are doing.

<?php
while (list($key, $value) = each
(${"HTTP_".$REQUEST_METHOD."_VARS"}))
{
        echo
$key." = ".$value." ";
}
?>

Here is a way to use array_intersect on array keys rather than values:

<?php
$a
= array("apple" => "red", "banana" => "yellow");
$z = array("apple" => "green", "peach" => "orange", "banana" => "rotten");

$intersected_keys = array_intersect(array_keys($a), array_keys($z));

print_r($intersected_keys);
?>

This will print:

Array ( [0] => apple [1] => banana )
