array combine w3schools php code example

Example 1: array_combine function in php

/* Array_combine is inbuilt function in php, which is use to combine two array in key value pair */
/* make sure both array should be of same length */

<?php
$fname=array("Peter","Ben","Joe");
$age=array("35","37","43");

$c=array_combine($fname,$age);
print_r($c);
?>

/*
Output:
Array ( [Peter] => 35 [Ben] => 37 [Joe] => 43 )
*/
  
/*
I hope it will help you.
Namaste
Stay home stay safe
*/

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: array merge in php

/* Array merge is basically use to merge the two array data. */
  
<?php
$a1=array("red","green");
$a2=array("blue","green","yellow");
print_r(array_merge($a1,$a2));
?>
  
/*
Output:
Array ( [0] => red [1] => green [2] => blue [3] => green [4] => yellow )
*/
  
<?php
$a1=array("a"=>"red","b"=>"green");
$a2=array("c"=>"blue","b"=>"yellow");
print_r(array_merge($a1,$a2));
?>

/*
Output:
Array ( [a] => red [b] => yellow [c] => blue )
*/
  
/* In above example you can check the difference in output 
it takes all values of both array in final output, but not in associative array you can check.
because one value gets overwritten by same key reference in both array.
