@RudiC, much appreciated.
Your comment on this not being the best approach is not surprising ;-)... I continue to try and improve my efforts but due to my skill level, usually start with functionality. I will investigate your suggestion of associative arrays.
Any high level example of how to better do what I'm trying with associative arrays?
Thanks again..

array_intersect_key
ARRAY_INTERSECT_KEY(3) 1 ARRAY_INTERSECT_KEY(3)
array_intersect_key - Computes the intersection of arrays using keys for comparison
SYNOPSIS
array array_intersect_key (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...])
DESCRIPTION
array_intersect_key(3) returns an array containing all the entries of $array1 which have keys that are present in all the arguments.
PARAMETERS
o $array1
- The array with master keys to check.
o $array2
- An array to compare keys against.
o $...
- A variable list of arrays to compare.
RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array containing all the entries of $array1 which have keys that are present in all arguments.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
array_intersect_key(3) example
<?php
$array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4);
$array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);
var_dump(array_intersect_key($array1, $array2));
?>
The above example will output:
array(2) {
["blue"]=>
int(1)
["green"]=>
int(3)
}
In our example you see that only the keys 'blue' and 'green' are present in both arrays and thus returned. Also notice that the values for
the keys 'blue' and 'green' differ between the two arrays. A match still occurs because only the keys are checked. The values returned are
those of $array1.
The two keys from the key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . In other words a strict type
check is executed so the string representation must be the same.
