note 58829 deleted from function.array-merge by levim

Note Submitter: ttsgosadow at gmail dot com ---- I was in need of a version of array_merge to add associative arrays without losing duplicate keys. I use the following function: [code] function array_add( $array1, $array2 ) { foreach( $array2 AS $key => $value ) { while( array_key_exists( $key, $array1 ) ) $key .= "_"; $array1[ $key ] = $value; } return $array1; } [/code] In my case the $key is a date I want to sort on, and if I happen to have duplicate dates (users add things on the same timestamp) I lose that entry with array_merge. I can sort on the key without getting big missorts because of the appended '_'.
