How to merge two or more arrays into one array in PHP
Topic: PHP / MySQLPrev|Next
Answer: Use the PHP array_merge()
function
You can use the PHP array_merge()
function to merge the elements or values of two or more arrays together into a single array. The merging is occurring in such a way that the values of one array are appended to the end of the previous array. Let's check out an example:
Example
Try this code »<?php
$array1 = array(1, "fruit" => "banana", 2, "monkey", 3);
$array2 = array("a", "b", "fruit" => "apple", "city" => "paris", 4, "c");
// Merging arrays together
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Note: If the input arrays contain the same string keys, then the later value for that key will overwrite the previous one during the merging process.
