Two Dimensional Array Key Swap in PHP

Example: array[key1][key2] → array[key2][key1]

This function takes a two dimensional array[x][y], swaps the first key with the second key so the values can be referenced using array[y][x]. It was also added as a user contributed note to the PHP: Array Manual on php.net’s website on October 10, 2009.

This function takes a two dimensional array[x][y], swaps the first
key with the second key so the values can be referenced using array[y][x].

Example:
samplearray['directiory'][0] = "myicons";
samplearray['directiory'][1] = "myicons";
samplearray['directiory'][2] = "myiconsold";
samplearray['directiory'][3] = "myiconsold";

samplearray['filename'][0] = "hat.png";
samplearray['filename'][1] = "dog.png";
samplearray['filename'][2] = "mice.png";
samplearray['filename'][3] = "rat.png";

The above array converts to:

newarray[0]['filename'] = "hat.png";
newarray[0]['directiory'] = "myicons";
newarray[1]['filename'] = "dog.png";
newarray[1]['directiory'] = "myicons";
newarray[2]['filename'] = "mice.png";
newarray[2]['directiory'] = "myiconsold";
newarray[3]['filename'] = "rat.png";
newarray[3]['directiory'] = "myiconsold";

*/

$keys = array_keys( $two_dimensional_array );

$array_swaped = array();

foreach( $two_dimensional_array[$keys[0]] as $key_counter => $value1 ) {

$temp_array = array();

foreach( $keys as $key) {
$temp_array[$key] = $two_dimensional_array[$key][$key_counter];
}

$array_swaped[] = $temp_array;
}

return $array_swaped;
}
