Quick Reference
The PHP array_combine() function creates an array by using the elements from a “keys” array and a “values” array. Both arrays must have an equal number of elements.
<?php
$name = array('Sam', 'Mike', 'Gabe');
$age = array('28', '26', '25');
$person = array_combine($name, $age);
print_r($person);
?>Note
Arrays count starting from zero NOT one. So item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on.
Output
Array ( [Sam] => 28 [Mike] => 26 [Gabe] => 25 )Syntax

PHP Notes:
- When using PHP, single or double quotation marks are acceptable and work identically to one another; choose whichever you prefer, and stay consistent
- Arrays count starting from zero NOT one; so item 1 is position [0], item 2 is position [1], and item 3 is position [2] … and so on
