Works on a like idea as array_merge(), but instead of concatenating arrays, it takes two related indexed arrays and creates one associative array.

                                Author:     Markus Diersbock

                                Details:     Takes two related indexed arrays and

                                        combines them into one associative array.

                                        

                                Notes:        If $keyarray is NOT greater or equal to $valuearray


                                        the function will error unless the optional $force=TRUE.

                                    }

                                } else {

                                    return 'Arrays are not of equal size';

                                }

                            

                                return $aryreturn;

                            }
