note 127724 added to function.array-merge-recursive

I was looking for a function like this one : merge one ore more arrays without appending values, just override and extend the array if needed. Useful for merging configurations or merging json data to be saved in database (my case) Similar to Object.assign in javascript public static function array_merge() { // Holds all the arrays passed $params = func_get_args (); // First array is used as the base, everything else overwrites on it $return = array_shift ( $params ); if(!is_array($return)) $return = []; // Merge all arrays on the first array foreach ( $params as $array ) { foreach ( $array as $key => $value ) { if(!isset($return[$key]) || !is_array($value)) { $return[$key] = $value; } else { $return[$key] = ArrayTools::array_merge( $return[$key], $value ); } } } return $return; } ---- Server IP: 45.112.84.4 Probable Submitter: 45.91.159.161 (proxied: 189.217.85.183) ---- Manual Page -- https://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge-recursive.php Edit -- https://main.php.net/note/edit/127724 Del: integrated -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/integrated Del: useless -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/useless Del: bad code -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/bad+code Del: spam -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/spam Del: non-english -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/non-english Del: in docs -- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://main.php.net/note/delete/127724 Reject -- https://main.php.net/note/reject/127724 Search -- https://main.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
