I have 2 arrays:
- first array is a bunch of keys.
- second array is a bunch of values.
I would like to merge them into an associated array in PHP.
Is there a simpler way to do this other than using loops?

Use array_combine() function:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-combine.php
Snippet:
$keys = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd');
$values = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$result = array_combine($keys, $values);
var_dump($result);
Result:
array(4) {
["a"]=>
int(1)
["b"]=>
int(2)
["c"]=>
int(3)
["d"]=>
int(4)
}

Use array_combine
Example for docs:
$a = array('green', 'red', 'yellow');
$b = array('avocado', 'apple', 'banana');
$c = array_combine($a, $b);
print_r($c);
Should output:
Array
(
[green] => avocado
[red] => apple
[yellow] => banana
)
