If you merges two (or more arrays, i.e. $a1, $a2) with keys that exists in both arrays and you want
in result the array with only new (non existing in $a1) keys integrated and rest of $a1 untouched,
put the array you want to save as the latter argument.
I.e. to asimilate $a2 by $a1:
$a1 = array("a"=>10, "b"=>20);
$a2 = array("a"=>0, "c"=>30);
do:
array_merge( $a2, $a1 ));
otherwise value with key "a" will be replaced with that one from $a2 and we don't
want this. If you have more arrays, the order of array_merge() argumens in case of such merge should
(in general) be descending from less to most 'importatant'.
