array_combine

  • This function’s solution uses a Ruby Hash object since Ruby arrays don’t use associative key/value pairs. See Array for more details.

    There is no direct equivalent of array_combine in Ruby. We can get similar results by manually building a hash from two arrays.

    PHP

    $make  = array('VW',    'Ford');
$model = array('Jetta', 'Explorer');
 
$result = array_combine($make, $model);
var_export($result);
// => array('VW' => 'Jetta', 'Ford' => 'Explorer')

    Ruby

    make  = ['VW',    'Ford']
model = ['Jetta', 'Explorer']
 
result = []
model.each_with_index do |val, key| 
  result[make[key]] = val
end
p result
# => {"VW"=>"Jetta", "Ford"=>"Explorer"}
