How to merge two associative arrays - php

Question

I have two associative arrays like
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-19
[1] => 6
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-20
[1] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-21
[1] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-22
[1] => 2
)
)
and
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-17
[1] => 6
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-18
[1] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-21
[1] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-23
[1] => 2
)
)
I need to merge them with the date and want a result array-like below
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-17
[1] => 0
[2] => 6
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-18
[1] => 0
[2] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-19
[1] => 6
[2] => 0
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-20
[1] => 1
[2] => 0
)
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-21
[1] => 1
[2] => 1
)
[5] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-22
[1] => 2
[2] => 0
)
[6] => Array
(
[0] => 2022-01-23
[1] => 0
[2] => 2
)
)
I tried with the below code but not any success.
$final_array = [];
foreach($openTicket as $val){
$closeTicketNo = 0;
foreach($closeTicket as $value){
if($val[0] == $value[0]){
$closeTicketNo = $value[1];
}
}
$final_array[] = [$val[0],$val[1],$closeTicketNo];
}
I get all the elements from the $openTicket but not get all the elements from a $closeTicket to my result array $final_array

Answer 1

This code first finds all of the unique dates (using array_unique) from the first values in each array (array_column fetches the values and array_merge puts them into 1 array).
Then it indexes each array by the dates (using array_column again).
Finally looping through the unique dates and adding a new element to the output with the values (using ?? 0 so that if no value is present the array is still filled properly)...
$dates = array_unique(array_merge(array_column($openTicket, 0), array_column($closedTicket, 0)));
$open = array_column($openTicket, 1, 0);
$closed = array_column($closedTicket, 1, 0);
$finalArray = [];
foreach ($dates as $date) {
$finalArray[] = [$date, $open[$date] ?? 0, $closed[$date] ?? 0];
}

You can try like this
$array1 = [
['2022-01-19',6],
['2022-01-20',1],
['2022-01-21',0]
];
$array2 = [
['2022-01-17',6],
['2022-01-20',2],
['2022-01-21',1]
];
function mergeMultiple($array1,$array2){
foreach($array1 as $item1){
$mergedArray[$item1[0]] = $item1;
}
foreach($array2 as $item2){
if(isset($mergedArray[$item2[0]])){
array_push($mergedArray[$item2[0]],$item2[1]);
$mergedArray[$item2[0]] = $mergedArray[$item2[0]];
}else{
$mergedArray[$item2[0]] = $item2;
}
}
return array_values($mergedArray);
}
$mergedArray = mergeMultiple($array1,$array2);
ksort($mergedArray);
print_r($mergedArray);
