array mergein php code example

Example 1: php array merge for associative arrays

<?php

$array1 = array('key1' => 'test1', 'key2' => 'test2');
$array2 = array('key3' => 'test3', 'key4' => 'test4');

$resultArray = array_merge($array1, $array2);

// If you have numeric or numeric like keys, array_merge will 
// reset the keys to 0 and start numbering from there

$resultArray = $array1 + $array2;

// Using the addition operator will allow you to preserve your keys,
// however any duplicate keys will be ignored.

Example 2: php join array

Definition and Usage
The join() function returns a string from the elements of an array.

The join() function is an alias of the implode() function.

Note: The join() function accept its parameters in either order. However, for consistency with explode(), you should use the documented order of arguments.

Note: The separator parameter of join() is optional. However, it is recommended to always use two parameters for backwards compatibility.

Syntax
join(separator,array)
  
Example
Join array elements with a string:

<?php
$arr = array('Hello','World!','Beautiful','Day!');
echo join(" ",$arr);
?>
  
Output:
Hello World! Beautiful Day!
