Stuck :: How to create an array with dynamically generated key names ?

[ftrudeau]

Im trying to turn this :

$myarray = array(banana, orange, apple);

Into this, when using print_r on the dynamically generated array :

Array
(
   [banana] =>
   [orange] =>
   [apple] =>
)

Might look silly, but believe me, it will be very usefull to me =)

Thanks for any help

$myarray = array('banana'=>'', 'orange'=>'', 'apple'=>'');

arg ! perhaps I was not clear enough.

See this piece of code ;

      if (!preg_match_all("(.*:.*:.*)", $_assignments, $assign)) {
         die ("File '/config/current/services.assignments' is empty or format is invalid.");
      } else {
         $_assignments = $assign[0];
         $parsed_assign = array();
         foreach ($_assignments as $assign) {
            $split = explode(":", $assign);
            array_push($parsed_assign, array('cluster' => $split[0], 'current_assignement' => $split[1], 'default_assignment' => $split[2]));
         }
         print_r($myarray);
         $this->_status->assignments = $parsed_assign;
      }

When I output $this->_status->assignments, I get this ;

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [cluster] => fenric
            [current_assignement] => www,ftp
            [default_assignment] => www,ftp
        )

[1] => Array
    (
        [cluster] => cogito
        [current_assignement] => 
        [default_assignment] => pop,imap,mx2,smtp,ns2
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [cluster] => hiruko
        [current_assignement] => mx1,pop,imap,mx2,smtp,ns2
        [default_assignment] => mx1
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [cluster] => pegasus
        [current_assignement] => webunix,ns1,webssl
        [default_assignment] => webunix,ns1,webssl
    )

)

What I would like to generate is an array with the cluster name assigned has keys, like this ;

Array
(
    [fenric] => Array
        (
            [current_assignement] => www,ftp
            [default_assignment] => www,ftp
        )

[cogito] => Array
    (
        [current_assignement] => 
        [default_assignment] => pop,imap,mx2,smtp,ns2
    )

[hiruko] => Array
    (
        [current_assignement] => mx1,pop,imap,mx2,smtp,ns2
        [default_assignment] => mx1
    )

[pegasus] => Array
    (
        [current_assignement] => webunix,ns1,webssl
        [default_assignment] => webunix,ns1,webssl
    )

)

Hope I made myself clearer this time.

There, that did it

if (!preg_match_all("(.*:.*:.*)", $_assignments, $assign)) {
         die ("File '/config/current/services.assignments' is empty or format is invalid.");
      } else {
         $_assignments = $assign[0];
         foreach ($_assignments as $assign) {
            $split = explode(":", $assign);
            $parsed_assign[$split[0]] = array('current_assignement' => $split[1], 'default_assignment' => $split[2]);
         }
         $this->_status->assignments = $parsed_assign;
      }
