PHP array_merge_recursive() Function

What is array_merge_recursive() Function?

Explanation

The "array_merge_recursive()" function is used to merge one or more arrays,if two arrays have the same key then the values are displayed as an single array.

Syntax:


array_merge_recursive(array1,array2,array3...)

In the above syntax atleast one array is mandatory, other arrays are optional.

Example :


<?php
$a=array("a"=>"Orange","b"=>"Guava", "d"=>"Jackfruit");
$b=array("c"=>"Cherry","b"=>"Strawberry", "d"=>"berry");
print_r(array_merge_recursive($a,$b));
?>
Result :

Array
(
[a] => Orange
[b] => Array ( [0] => Guava [1] => Strawberry)
[c] => Cherry
[d] => Array ( [0] => Jackfruit [1] => berry)
)

In the above example both arrays "$a","$b" have some common keys that is "b", "d" values of both these keys are displayed in seperate arrays.
