note 48426 added to function.array-merge

if you generate form select from an array, you probably want to keep your array keys and order intact, if so you can use ArrayMergeKeepKeys(), works just like array_merge : array ArrayMergeKeepKeys ( array array1 [, array array2 [, array ...]]) but keeps the keys even if of numeric kind. enjoy <? $Default[0]='Select Something please'; $Data[147]='potato'; $Data[258]='banana'; $Data[54]='tomato'; $A=array_merge($Default,$Data); $B=ArrayMergeKeepKeys($Default,$Data); echo '<pre>'; print_r($A); print_r($B); echo '</pre>'; Function ArrayMergeKeepKeys() { $arg_list = func_get_args(); foreach((array)$arg_list as $arg){ foreach((array)$arg as $K => $V){ $Zoo[$K]=$V; } } return $Zoo; } //will output : Array ( [0] => Select Something please [1] => potato [2] => banana [3] => tomato ) Array ( [0] => Select Something please [147] => potato [258] => banana [54] => tomato ) ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+48426 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+48426&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+48426&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
