Replace Array Keys with Ascending Numbers

Question

I have an array that looks like this:

[867324]  
    [id] => 867324  
    [name] => Example1  

[345786]    
    [id] => 345786
    [name] => Example2

[268531]  
    [id] => 268531
    [name] => Example3 

So as you can see, the first elements aren't in any specific order. For the purpose of the example, you can just consider them random numbers. The end result I would like to end up with is:

[0]  
    [id] => 867324  
    [name] => Example1  

[1]    
    [id] => 345786
    [name] => Example2

[2]  
    [id] => 268531
    [name] => Example3  

I've tried exploding, but clearly I must be doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

This will renumber the keys while preserving the order of elements.

$new_array = array_values($old_array);

Answer 2

You can reset the array keys using array_values():

$array = array_values($array);

Using this method an array such as:

Array('123'=>'123',
      '456'=>'456',
      '789'=>'789')

Will be renumbered like:

Array('0'=>'123',
      '1'=>'456',
      '2'=>'789')
