note 73584 added to function.array-merge

I have been searching for an in-place merge function, but couldn't find one. This function merges two arrays, but leaves the order untouched. Here it is for all others that want it: function inplacemerge($a, $b) { $result = array(); $i = $j = 0; if (count($a)==0) { return $b; } if (count($b)==0) { return $a; } while($i < count($a) && $j < count($b)){ if ($a[$i] <= $b[$j]) { $result[] = $a[$i]; if ($a[$i]==$b[$j]) { $j++; } $i++; } else { $result[] = $b[$j]; $j++; } } while ($i<count($a)){ $result[] = $a[$i]; $i++; } while ($j<count($b)){ $result[] = $b[$j]; $j++; } return $result; } ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.120 Probable Submitter: 213.169.233.90 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73584 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73584 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73584 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
