PHP: Can I get the index in an array_map function?

Question

I'm using a map in php like so:

function func($v) {     return $v * 2; }  $values = array(4, 6, 3); $mapped = array_map(func, $values); var_dump($mapped); 

Is it possible to get the index of the value in the function?

Also - if I'm writing code that needs the index, should I be using a for loop instead of a map?

Answer 1

Sure you can, with the help of array_keys():

function func($v, $k) {     // key is now $k     return $v * 2; }  $values = array(4, 6, 3); $mapped = array_map('func', $values, array_keys($values)); var_dump($mapped);
