merging arrays in php code example

Example 1: php merge 2 arrays

<?php
  $array1 = [
      "color" => "green"
  ];
  $array2 = [
      "color" => "red", 
      "color" => "blue"
  ];
  $result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
?>

// $result
[
    "color" => "green"
    "color" => "red", 
    "color" => "blue"
]

Example 2: php combine arrays

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

Example 3: 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 4: merge array php

<?php
$array1    = array("color" => "red", 2, 4);
$array2    = array("a", "b", "color" => "green", "shape" => "trapezoid", 4);
$resultado = array_merge($array1, $array2);
print_r($resultado);
?>
