Submitted by razormist on Monday, February 25, 2019 - 21:36.

In this tutorial we will create a Simple Array Merge using PHP. PHP is a server-side scripting language designed primarily for web development. Using PHP, you can let your user directly interact with the script and easily to learned its syntax. It is mostly used by a newly coders for its user friendly environment. So Let's do the coding...

Getting Started:

First you have to download & install XAMPP or any local server that run PHP scripts. Here's the link for XAMPP server https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html. And this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into your text editor, then save it as index.php.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
        </head>
<body>
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="container-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-2"></div>
        <div class="col-md-8 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">PHP - Simple Array Merge</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <form method="POST" action="">
                        <center><button class="btn btn-primary" name="merge"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-check"></span> Merge</button></center>
                </form>
                <?php include 'merge.php'?>
        </div>
</body>
</html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will merge the arrays into one whole array. To make this just simple copy and write the this block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as merge.php.

<?php
        $student1 = array(
                array("firstname" => "John", "lastname" => "Smith", "year&sec" => "1B")
        );
        $student2 = array(
                array("firstname" => "Claire", "lastname" => "Temple", "year&sec" => "2A")
        );
?>
<div class="col-md-6">
        <h3>Student1</h3>
        <?php
        
                echo "<pre>";
                print_r($student1);
                echo "</pre>";
        ?>
        
        <h3>Student2</h3>
        <?php
                echo "<pre>";
                print_r($student2);
                echo "</pre>";
        ?>
</div>
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<div class="col-md-6">
        <?php
                if(ISSET($_POST['merge'])){
                        $students = array_unique(array_merge($student1, $student2), SORT_REGULAR);
                        echo "<pre>";
                        print_r($students);
                        echo "</pre>";
                }
                
        ?>
</div>
