I have two arrays:
$a = ['0' => 1, '1' => 2, '2' => 3]
$b = ['0' => 4, '1' => 5, '2' => 6]
I want to create a new array like this:
[
['a' => 1, 'b' => '4'],
['a' => '2', 'b' => '5']
]
I have tried using array_merge and array_merge_recursive, but I wasn't able to get the right results.
$data = array_merge_recursive(array_values($urls), array_values($id));
You have to apply array_map() with custom function:
$newArray = array_map('combine',array_map(null, $a, $b));
function combine($n){
return array_combine(array('a','b'),$n);
}
print_r($newArray);

array_map(null, $a, $b) is interesting. Can you explain,please, how it works?All earlier answers are working too hard. I see excessive iterations, iterated function calls, and counter variables.
Because there are only two arrays and the keys between the two arrays are identical, a simple foreach loop will suffice. Just push associative arrays into the result array.
Code: (Demo)
$a = ['0' => 1, '1' => 2, '2' => 3];
$b = ['0' => 4, '1' => 5, '2' => 6];
$result = [];
foreach ($a as $k => $v) {
$result[] = ['a' => $v, 'b' => $b[$k]];
}
var_export($result);
Output:
array (
0 =>
array (
'a' => 1,
'b' => 4,
),
1 =>
array (
'a' => 2,
'b' => 5,
),
2 =>
array (
'a' => 3,
'b' => 6,
),
)
If we may interpret your requirements to not preserve the numeric keys, then this functional process is pretty slick. Demo
var_export(
array_map(
fn(int $a, int $b) => get_defined_vars(),
$a, // first array
$b // second array
)
);
Try this one
$c = array_merge($a,$b)
$d[] = array_reduce($d, 'array_merge', []);
It will merge the two array and reduce and remerge it.
You can use foreach to approach this
$a = ['0' => 1, '1' => 2, '2' => 3];
$b = ['0' => 4, '1' => 5, '2' => 6];
$res = [];
$i = 0;
$total = 2;
foreach($a as $k => $v){
$res[$i]['a'] = $v;
$res[$i]['b'] = $b[$k];
$i++;
if($i == $total) break;
}
The idea is to have an array $ab = ['a','b'] and a array from your both arrays like this $merged_array = [[1,4],[2,5],[3,6]].
Now we can combine array $ab with each element of $merged_array and that will be the result we need.
$first = ['0' => 1, '1' => 2, '2' => 3];
$second = ['0' => 4, '1' => 5, '2' => 6];
$merged_array = [];
for($i=0;$i<count($first);$i++)
{
array_push($merged_array,[$first[$i],$second[$i]]);
}
$final = [];
$ab = ['a','b'];
foreach($merged_array as $arr)
{
array_push($final,array_combine($ab, $arr));
}
print_r($final);
