note 32907 added to ref.array

A note on the + and += operators for arrays: If there are duplicate keys, then no 'addition' takes place at all. For example, Array(1,2,3)+Array(4,5,6)=Array(1,2,3). If you want to numerically add two arrays, try out this function: # Recursively add (numerically) the contents of two arrays function addArrays( $a, $b ){ $ret = $a; foreach( $b as $key => $val ){ if (is_array($val)) $ret[$key]=addArrays( $ret[$key], $val ); else $ret[$key]+=$val; } return $ret; } It behaves just like the + and += operators, except when there's an overlap between the arrays. So $a=Array(Array(1,2),3,4); $b=Array(10,20),30,40); print_r(addArrays($a, $b)); will produce Array(Array(11,22),33,44), as you'd expect. Of course, the arrays do need to have the same structure--if a key is an array in one and a scalar in the other, you'll run into trouble. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+32907 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+32907&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+32907&report=yes
