Array_combine problem

[duckduckgoose]

I'm trying to combine some arrays, but it keeps picking an empty value and making that part of the array.

For example, the original array looks like this:

Array ( [order] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 [5] => [6] => [7] => [8] => [9] => [10] => ) [ids] => Array ( [0] => 4857 [1] => 4877 [2] => 4861 [3] => 4881 [4] => 4893 [5] => 4872 [6] => 4873 [7] => 4862 [8] => 4903 [9] => 4874 [10] => 4880 )

I'm trying to combine the [order] and [ids] array so that I get this:

Array ( [1] => 4857 [2] => 4877 [3] => 4861 [4] => 4881 [5] => 4893 )

But, I keep getting this:

Array ( [1] => 4857 [2] => 4877 [3] => 4861 [4] => 4881 [5] => 4893 [] => 4880 ) 

Since I'm not using PHP5, I'm using a custom function that looks like this:

if (! function_exists('array_combine')) {
  function array_combine($keys, $values) {
   foreach($keys as $key) $out[$key] = array_shift($values);
   return $out; 
  }
}

Can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how to correct it? Thanks!

Heres a slightly different way of doing it, this is an example script that shows that the field values change.

$i=1;
$arr=array();
$arr['order']=array("1","2","3","4");
$arr['ids']=array("10","11","12","13");
echo "<pre>";
print_r($arr);
echo "</pre><hr />";
$arr['order']=array();
foreach ($arr['ids'] as $key)
{
  $arr['order'][$i]=$key;
  $i++;
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($arr);
echo "</pre>";

Except for this

$i=1;
//where arr is the name of your table
foreach ($arr['ids'] as $key)
{
  $arr['order'][$i]=$key;
  $i++;
}

the rest can be removed.

Not a direct answer to your problem, but hope it helps.
