<para>

<function>array_merge</function> merges the elements of two or
|
|
more arrays together so that the values of one are appended to
|
|
the end of the previous one. It returns the resulting array.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the later value for
|
|
that key will overwrite the previous one. If, however, the arrays
|
|
contain numeric keys, the later value will <emphasis
|
|
role="strong">not</emphasis> overwrite the original value, but will be
|
|
appended.

Don't forget that numeric keys will be renumbered!

If you want to completely preserve the arrays and just want to append
|
|
them to each other, use the <literal>+</literal> operator:
|
|
<programlisting role="php">
|
|
<![CDATA[
|
|
$array1 = array();
|
|
$array2 = array(1 => "data");
|
|
$result = $array1 + $array2;
|
|
]]>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
The numeric key will be preserved and thus the association remains.

|

|
|
(
|
|
[1] => data
