Move value to next element of array

Question

See the attached example that i use to build my array

foreach($something AS $key => $row)
{

    $output[] = array("name"=>$row["name"], "points"=>$row["points"]);

}

print_r($output);

Here's the output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => Mark
            [points] => 1           
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => Sara
            [points] => 2
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => Jack
            [points] => 3      
        )

)

What i'm trying to do is moving $row["points"] to next array element to get this output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [name] => Mark
            [points] =>           
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [name] => Sara
            [points] => 1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [name] => Jack
            [points] => 2     
        )

)

I don't care if there's some data loss or if my [points] => 3 goes in a new array. I just have to programmatically move $row["points"] always to next element. I'm playing with next() function with no success and also with $key+1 which i'm sure i can't use to achieve the result.

Is it possible to make it on top while i'm building the array or am i forced to move the element later with a separate function? In other words what would you do?

Answer 1

Try if it helps:

foreach($something AS $key => $row)
{

    $output[$key]['name']       = $row["name"];
    $output[$key+1]['points']   = $row["points"];
}

print_r($output);

Try This:

$output = array();
$something = array(
    '0' => array(
        'name'   => 'Mark',
        'points' => 1,
    ),
    '1' => array(
        'name'   => 'Sara',
        'points' => 2,
    ),
    '2' => array(
        'name'   => 'Jack',
        'points' => 3,
    )
);
$point = '';
foreach($something AS $key => $row)
{
    $output[$key] = array("name"=>$row["name"], "points"=>$point);
    $point = $row['points'];
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($output);

Use:

foreach($array as $key => $each)
{
    $array[0]['points'] = "";
    $array[$key]['name'] = $each["name"];
    if(isset($array[$key+1])) $array[$key+1]['points'] = $each["points"];
}

print_r($array);
