Array trouble

[Anon]

Hi there

I have been bugged with this for a few hours now and I'm stuck... It seems like a simple enough thing to do but I cant figure out how... What I want to do is to copy a array... like:

$array1 = array2;

I tried with something like this too:

for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++)
$array1[$i] = $array2[$i];

But this takes too long and the script becomes slow... Does anyone got any ideas on how to do this... I don't want to merge the two arrays because $array1 already got info that I want overwritten.

In php4, $array1=$array2 does the job!

By the way, in your solution, instead of

for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++)

try

for($i = 0; $i < count($array2); $i++)

this way you only copy the entries that really exist in $array2
But don't forget to clear array1 before, otherwise if your $array1 was longer than $array2, $array1 will be $array2 plus whatever was left from the old $array1
