PHP join two multidimensional arrays - php

Question

I have two arrays and I would like to join them. Both arrays are a product of a foreach loop. The first one being:
$cleanNums[] = array(
'01'=>$numbers[1],
'02'=>$numbers[2],
'03'=>$numbers[3],
'04'=>$numbers[4],
'05'=>$numbers[5],
);
and the second one being:
$newDates[] = array(
'day'=>$cleanDate[1],
'month'=>$cleanDate[2],
'year'=>$cleanDate[3],
'draw'=>$cleanDate[6],
);
Using array_merge $weeklyValues = array_merge($newDates,$cleanNums); I'm getting:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[day] => 1st
[month] => March
[year] => 2017
[draw] => 660
)
[1] => Array
(
[01] => 3
[02] => 23
[03] => 40
[04] => 20
[05] => 28
)
)
I would like my output to read as follows:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[day] => 1st
[month] => March
[year] => 2017
[draw] => 660
[01] => 3
[02] => 23
[03] => 40
[04] => 20
[05] => 28
)
)

Answer 1

Please use this code:
$resultArray = array(
0 => current($newDates) + current($cleanNums)
);
print_r($resultArray);

Answer 2

the array_merge is the way to do it http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php. The reason for incorrect output is in the way you define variables e.g.
$cleanNums[] = array(...)
Will result in nested array:
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(5) {
...
}
}
To avoid it either change the way of the assignment:
$cleanNums = array(...)
Or the way how you provide it as array_merge parameters:
$weeklyValues = array_merge($newDates[0],$cleanNums[0]);
The same needs to be applied for $newDates of course.

Answer 3

I'm assuming $cleanNums and $newDates are multidimensional arrays and will get more [] values;
$weeklyValues = array();
foreach($cleanNums as $array)
{
$weeklyValues = array_merge($weeklyValues,$array);
}
foreach($newDates as $array)
{
$weeklyValues = array_merge($weeklyValues,$array);
}
print_r($weeklyValues);

Answer 4

$count = count($newDates);
$mergedArray = array();
for($i=0; $i < $count; $i++){
//assuming both arrays have equal number of records
$mergedArray[] = current($newDates[$i]) + current($cleanNums[$i]);
}
var_dump($mergedArray);
