array_combine modification

[duckduckgoose]

Is there a way to have the effect of array_combined, but ensure that duplicate elements of an array are not removed?

For example, the way things are now, this happens:

Array ( [name] => Array ( [0] => Joe [1] => Joe [2] => Joe ) [animal] => Array ( [0] => Dog  [1] => Cat [2] => Rabbit  ) [submit] => Validez )

Returns:

Array ( [Joe] => Dog [] => )

What I would want is for it to return:

Array ( [Joe] => Dog [Joe] => Cat  [Joe] => Rabbit)

Upon array_combine.

This is the array_combine function I'm using:

if (!function_exists('array_combine')) {
   function array_combine($a, $b) {
       $c = array();
       if (is_array($a) && is_array($b))
           while (list(, $va) = each($a))
               if (list(, $vb) = each($b))
                   $c[$va] = $vb;
               else
                   break 1;
       return $c;
   }
}

An array cannot have duplicate keys. You'd have to come up with some sort of multi-dimensional array, such as:

array(
  0 => array('name' => 'joe', 'animal' => 'dog'),
  1 => array('name' => 'joe', 'animal' => 'cat'),
  2 => array('name' => 'joe', 'animal' => 'rabbit')
)
