changing – editing arrays!

Hi, guys!
I have 2 arrays, $inHand[] and $inBag[] ….. as name inHand are weapons in hand and inBag are weapons in bag.
Now, i want to give user ability so they can change their weapons. (User can’t have more than 6 weapons so they need to change).
So if one wants to change his third weapon with 5th weapon in bag, i have to edit arrays but how do it?

I am sure that i haven’t completely explained but hope it was enough… just tell me how to change one array with other array’s some position and return it ?

Yup, Really confused.
Thanks in advance.

@OctoberWindNov 05.2012 — this was a fun, yet simple exercise:

[code=php]
$inHand = array(1=>"knife", "pistol", "shotgun", "lanten", "map", "compass"); // the stuff in your hand
$inBag = array(1=>"rope", "radio", "grenade", "sword", "shovel"); // the stuff in your bag

// function takes the two gear arrays, as well as the numeric keys for the "old" and "new" items
function switch_gear($hand, $bag, $oldItemKey, $newItemKey) {

$transfer = $bag[$newItemKey]; // get the new item from the bag
$drop = $hand[$oldItemKey]; // "drop" the old item from your hand

$hand[$oldItemKey] = $transfer; // put the new item in your hand
$bag[$newItemKey] = $drop; // put the old item in your bag

$returnArray["HAND"] = $hand;
$returnArray["BAG"] = $bag;

return $returnArray; // return both the "hand" and "bag" arrays
}


$swap = switch_gear($inHand, $inBag, 3, 5);

echo "n<pre>";
echo "nHand: ".print_r($inHand);
echo "nBag: ".print_r($inBag);
echo "n Return: ".print_r($swap);
echo "n</pre>";

[/code]
