range() question

[dresden_phoenix]

if suppose I could do this with a "for" loop, but I am wondering if there is a more graceful alternative. I want to create array of a containing a range of DIFFERENT numbers; for the sake of this example lets say 1-10, when i use "range(1,10)" it creates an array with the desired range but it starts with the key "0"


example:
$variable[0]=1;
$variable[1]=2;
...
$variable[9]=10;

is there a way to do this, (without using a "for" loop) where I can chose what key the range starts?

example:
$variable[x]=1;
$variable[x+1]=2;
...
$variable[X+9]=10;

$Start = 10;
$Range = array_fill(0, $Start, null);
$Range = array_merge($Range, Range(1, 10));
$Range = array_filter($Range);
var_dump($Range); 

or, condensed:

$Start = 10;
$Range = array_filter(array_merge(array_fill(0, $Start, null), Range(1, 10))); 

Edit:

Now removes NULL values - so you have an array starting from the value you wanted rather than an array starting from 0 and full of NULLs before the values.

[printf]

Just subtract - 1 in your starting range and use array slice...

<?php

$start = 1;

$end = 10;

$out = array_slice ( range ( $start - 1, $end ), $start, $end, true );

print_r ( $out );

?>

array_combine(range(5, 14), range(1, 10))
