这个函数可以处理:

索引有孔的数组(例如1、2、4、5、8、10) 带有“0x”键的数组:例如，键“08”是关联的，键“8”是顺序的。

思想很简单:如果其中一个键不是整数，它就是关联数组，否则就是顺序数组。

function is_asso($a){
    foreach(array_keys($a) as $key) {if (!is_int($key)) return TRUE;}
    return FALSE;
}

我认为标量数组的定义因应用程序而异。也就是说，一些应用程序将需要更严格的定义标量数组，而一些应用程序将需要更宽松的定义。

下面我将介绍3种不同严格程度的方法。

function isArrayWithOnlyAscendingIntKeys(array $a)
{
    if (!is_array($a))
        return false;
    $prev = null;

function isArrayWithOnlyZeroBasedSequentialIntKeys(array $a)
{
    if (!is_array($a))
        return false;

            return false;
    return true;
}

对于使用Laravel的用户:

如果给定数组是关联数组，则isAssoc返回true。如果数组没有以0开头的连续数字键，则数组被认为是“关联的”:

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;

$isAssoc = Arr::isAssoc(['product' => ['name' => 'Desk', 'price' => 100]]);

// true

$isAssoc = Arr::isAssoc([1, 2, 3]);

// false

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpers#method-array-isassoc

简单地说，你可以通过以下步骤检查数组是否关联

使用array_keys()将数组的所有键转换为一个数组 使用array_filter()和从数组中过滤非数字键 is_numeric () 比较过滤数组和实际数组中的元素数量，如果两个数组中的元素数量不相等，则为关联数组。

以上步骤的功能如下所示。

 function isAssociative(array $array)
    {
        return count(array_filter(array_keys($array), function($v){return is_numeric($v);})) !== count($array));
    }

我知道在这个庞大的队列中添加答案有点毫无意义，但这里有一个可读的O(n)解决方案，不需要复制任何值:

function isNumericArray($array) {
    $count = count($array);
    for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
        if (!isset($array[$i])) {
            return FALSE;
        }
    }
    return TRUE;
}

不是检查键是否都是数字，而是遍历数字数组的键并确保它们存在。

一种廉价而肮脏的方法是这样检查:

isset($myArray[count($myArray) - 1])

.．.如果你的数组是这样的，你可能会得到一个假阳性:

$myArray = array("1" => "apple", "b" => "banana");

一个更彻底的方法可能是检查钥匙:

function arrayIsAssociative($myArray) {
    foreach (array_keys($myArray) as $ind => $key) {
        if (!is_numeric($key) || (isset($myArray[$ind + 1]) && $myArray[$ind + 1] != $key + 1)) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}
// this will only return true if all the keys are numeric AND sequential, which
// is what you get when you define an array like this:
// array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

or

function arrayIsAssociative($myArray) {
    $l = count($myArray);
    for ($i = 0; $i < $l, ++$i) {
        if (!isset($myArray[$i])) return true;
    }
    return false;
}
// this will return a false positive on an array like this:
$x = array(1 => "b", 0 => "a", 2 => "c", 4 => "e", 3 => "d");
