Assign multiple keys to same value in array
arrays, key, key-value, php
Solution
You can use `array_fill_keys()` :
$keys = array('thank you','thanks','thank ya');
$lang = array_fill_keys($keys, 'You are welcome');
Example
Problem
``` $lang = array( 'thank you'=>'You are welcome', 'thanks'=>'You are welcome', 'thank ya'=>'You are welcome' ); ``` As you can see this is going to get tiresome writing multiple keys for the same value is there any way I can do. ``` $lang['thanks']=>$lang['thank ya']=>$lang['thank you'] ``` Just trying to save myself some time here from rewriting a hundred times PHP class function: ``` function fetch_key($key, $l,$bool){ $dynamic = new l18n; if($bool == true or is_null($bool)){ return addslashes( $dynamic->convert($key,$l) ); }else{ return $dynamic->convert($key,$l); } } ``` EX ``` $lang = array( 'thank you'=>'You are welcome', 'thanks'=>'You are welcome', 'thank ya'=>'You are welcome', 'hello'=>'hello', 'goodbye'=>'goodbye' ); ``` So I'd need to make it so it adds it to the array and not fill my key values with the same value when in fact they aren't all the exact same. I should have stated this in the beginning
