note 41394 added to function.array-merge

hey there, here is a nice little way of merging two arrays that may or may not have numerical or string indices and preserving the order and indexing of both arrays whilst making the most use of in built php functions (i actually originally wanted to use array_combine for obvious reasons but seeing as that is not available in PHP4, the little foreach loop at the end is necessary): function merge($arr1,$arr2) { if(!is_array($arr1)) $arr1 = array(); if(!is_array($arr2)) $arr2 = array(); $keys1 = array_keys($arr1); $keys2 = array_keys($arr2); $keys = array_merge($keys1,$keys2); $vals1 = array_values($arr1); $vals2 = array_values($arr2); $vals = array_merge($vals1,$vals2); $ret = array(); foreach($keys as $key) { list($unused,$val) = each($vals); $ret[$key] = $val; } return $ret; } ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+41394 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+41394&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+41394&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
