PHP 8.1增加了一个内置函数来确定数组是否是具有这些语义的列表。函数是array_is_list:

$list = ["a", "b", "c"];

array_is_list($list); // true

$notAList = [1 => "a", 2 => "b", 3 => "c"];

array_is_list($notAList); // false

$alsoNotAList = ["a" => "a", "b" => "b", "c" => "c"];

array_is_list($alsoNotAList); // false

参考

<?php

function is_list($array) {
    return array_keys($array) === range(0, count($array) - 1);
}

function is_assoc($array) {
    return count(array_filter(array_keys($array), 'is_string')) == count($array);
}

?>

这两个得分最高的例子都不能正确地使用$array = array('foo' => 'bar'， 1)这样的数组

或者你可以用这个:

Arr::isAssoc($array)

它将检查数组是否包含任何非数字键或:

Arr:isAssoc($array, true)

检查数组是否严格顺序(包含自动生成的int键0到n-1)

使用这个库。

/*
iszba - Is Zero Based Array

Detects if an array is zero based or not.

PARAMS:
    $chkvfnc
        Callback in the loop allows to check the values of each element.
        Signature:
            bool function chkvfnc($v);
            return:
                true    continue looping
                false   stop looping; iszba returns false too.

NOTES:
○ assert: $array is an array.
○ May be memory efficient;
  it doesn't get extra arrays via array_keys() or ranges() into the function.
○ Is pretty fast without a callback.
○ With callback it's ~2.4 times slower.
*/
function iszba($array, $chkvfnc=null){

    $ncb = !$chkvfnc;
    $i = 0;

    foreach($array as $k => $v){
        if($k === $i++)
            if($ncb || $chkvfnc($v))
                continue;

        return false;
    }

    return true;
}

•没有回调，比当前领先的回答快30%。 而且可能内存效率更高。

•只需对答案求反，就可以知道数组是否应该被认为是关联的。

检查数组是否有所有的关联键。使用stdClass & get_object_vars ^):

$assocArray = array('fruit1' => 'apple', 
                    'fruit2' => 'orange', 
                    'veg1' => 'tomato', 
                    'veg2' => 'carrot');

$assoc_object = (object) $assocArray;
$isAssoc = (count($assocArray) === count (get_object_vars($assoc_object)));  
var_dump($isAssoc); // true

为什么?函数get_object_vars只返回可访问的属性(请参阅在将数组转换为对象期间发生的更多信息)。然后，只是逻辑上:如果基本数组元素的计数等于对象的可访问属性的计数-所有键都是关联的。

一些测试:

$assocArray = array('apple', 'orange', 'tomato', 'carrot');
$assoc_object = (object) $assocArray; 
$isAssoc = (count($assocArray) === count (get_object_vars($assoc_object)));
var_dump($isAssoc); // false 
//...

$assocArray = array( 0 => 'apple', 'orange', 'tomato', '4' => 'carrot');
$assoc_object = (object) $assocArray; 
$isAssoc = (count($assocArray) === count (get_object_vars($assoc_object)));
var_dump($isAssoc); // false 

//... 
$assocArray = array('fruit1' => 'apple', 
                    NULL => 'orange', 
                    'veg1' => 'tomato', 
                    'veg2' => 'carrot');

$assoc_object = (object) $assocArray;
$isAssoc = (count($assocArray) === count (get_object_vars($assoc_object)));  
var_dump($isAssoc); //false

Etc.

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");
