You could use the array_values() function, which will basically do what you say.

array_values() returns all the values from the input array and indexes numerically the array.

Example:

$array = array_values($array);

If you want to avoid PHP loops, you may try something like :

$newArray = array_combine(range(1, count($array)), array_values($array));
