How do I turn a PHP array into $keys and $values?

Question

If I have an array as $keys => $values, how can I get two arrays of $keys and $values?

I don't understand your question, maybe an example how it should look like? — usoban

$keys = array_keys($array);
$values = array_values($array);

array_keys and array_values will return a numerical array of the keys/values of a given array:

$keys = array_keys($array);
$values = array_values($array);

Or if you want a foreach solution:

$keys = array();
$values = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
    $keys[] = $key;
    $values[] = $value;
}
