Assume we have an array
$a = array('a', 'b', 'c');
We need to get an array
$a = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');
Should we use
$a = array_merge($a, array('d', 'e'));
or
$a[] = 'd';
$a[] = 'e';

both are identical in this situation since you dont have any ordered or named keys to be concerned about. use whichever you prefer.

It depends on how you have the values, you have already as an array, then array_merge() is ok, but if you loop in something and you get a value at a time then the second option is ok.

Depends on how you generate the second array. If the second array you wish to append comes from the output of another function, the better choice is array_merge().
