Assuming I don't want to loop through and build a new array, is there a built in way in PHP to add two arrays together and push all keys from the second array after the keys from the first? I Googled around and couldn't find anything that does exactly this, but wondering if anyone might know
For example to combine these..
array( 0 => "a", 1 => "b" );
array ( 0 => "c", 1 => "d" );
and get this..
array( 0 => "a", 1 => "b", 2 => "c", 3 => "d" );
This:
array_merge(array( 0 => "a", 1 => "b" ),array ( 0 => "c", 1 => "d" ));
Or
array( 0 => "a", 1 => "b" ) + array ( 0 => "c", 1 => "d" )
This first one will overwrite duplicate keys, the second will not. And you may have to sort the array afterwords.
Or, you could do:
array_merge(array_values(array( 0 => "a", 1 => "b" )), array_values(array ( 0 => "c", 1 => "d" )))
That will definitely work
Take a look at array_merge.
<?php
$ab = array('a', 'b');
$cd = array('c', 'd');
var_dump(
array_merge($ab, $cd)
);
/*
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(1) "a"
[1]=>
string(1) "b"
[2]=>
string(1) "c"
[3]=>
string(1) "d"
}
*/
You could also try:
<?php
$array1 = array(0 => 'zero_a', 2 => 'two_a', 3 => 'three_a');
$array2 = array(1 => 'one_b', 3 => 'three_b', 4 => 'four_b');
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
/*
Array
(
[0] => zero_a
[1] => two_a
[2] => three_a
[3] => one_b
[4] => three_b
[5] => four_b
)
*/
?>
