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

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.
