Answer 1

Here take this function
<?php
$array = array(
12 => array (
"ID" => '127078',
"row1" => '',
"post" => 'N16 7UJ',
),
13 => array (
"ID" => '127078',
"row1" => 'something',
"post" => '',
)
);
function mergedup($array,$matcher){
if(!function_exists('remove_element')){
function remove_element($arr,$element){
$ret_arr = array();
foreach($arr as $val){
if($val !== $element){
array_push($ret_arr,$val);
}
}
return $ret_arr;
}
}
$array = remove_element($array,array());
$return_array = array();
while(isset($array[0])){
$temp = $array[0];
$array = remove_element($array,$temp);
$array_temp = array();
foreach($array as $vals){
if($temp[$matcher]==$vals[$matcher]){
array_push($array_temp,$vals);
foreach($temp as $key => $val){
if(empty($temp[$key])){
$temp[$key] = $vals[$key];
}
}
}
}
foreach($array_temp as $vals){
$array = remove_element($array,$vals);
}
array_push($return_array,$temp);
}
return $return_array;
}
var_dump(mergedup($array,"ID"));
?>
Tested and working

Answer 2

You have so many option such as array_replace
array_merge
foreach
while
Iterator
But i prefer array_replace because you can easily select which array is replacing which
Values
$array[12] = array("ID"=>127078,"row1"=>"","post"=>"N16 7UJ");
$array[13] = array("ID"=>127078,"row1"=>"something","post"=>"");
var_dump($array[12]);
Example array_replace ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-replace.php )
$array[13] = array_filter($array[13]); //Filter Replacement
$array[12]= array_replace($array[12],$array[13]);
Example array_merge ( http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php )
//$array[12] = array_filter($array[12]); //Optinal
$array[13] = array_filter($array[13]); //Filter Spaces
$array[12]= array_merge($array[12],$array[13]);
var_dump($array[12]);
Output
array
'ID' => int 127078
'row1' => string 'something' (length=9)
'post' => string 'N16 7UJ' (length=7)
