PHP array_flip()

The array_flip() method is used to interchange the keys and values of an array. It creates a new array where the original array’s values become the keys, and the keys become the values. This function can be useful in situations where it’s needed to quickly lookup keys based on their previous values.

Syntax

The array_flip() function has one required parameter:

• $original_array: The array to be flipped.
