Convert every two elements in an indexed array to form an associative array

Question

I have an array like this:

Array
(
    [0] => name
    [1] => john
    [2] => last
    [3] => doe
    [4] => company
    [5] => sony
)

I need to convert to this:

Array
(
    [name] => john
    [last] => doe
    [company] => sony
)

Any ideas?

for ($i = 0; $i < count($myArray); $i += 2)
    $newArray[ $myArray[$i] ] = $myArray[$i+1];

This will throw Notice: undefined offset if you have an array with an odd number of elements. Also count($myArray) will be calculated each loop, that will cause problems with bigger arrays

@kingkero Thanks for comment, you are right. I presumed array will be well formatted, in order not to complicate the answer.

@Martinsos I've an Array([0] => shiva [1] => kumar [2] => shrestha) and want to convert like Array([first_name] => shiva [middle_name] => kumar [last_name] => shrestha) What should I do for solving such problem?

@Martinsos I got my answer! $keys = array('first_name', 'middle_name', 'last_name'); $employee = array('shiva', 'kumar', 'shrestha'); $employee = array_combine($keys, $employee); Problem Resolved!
