How can I merge two arrays (one with string => value pairs and another with int => value pairs) while keeping the string/int keys? None of them will ever overlap (because one has only strings and the other has only integers).
Here is my current code (which doesn't work, because array_merge is re-indexing the array with integer keys):
// get all id vars by combining the static and dynamic
$staticIdentifications = array(
Users::userID => "USERID",
Users::username => "USERNAME"
);
// get the dynamic vars, formatted: varID => varName
$companyVarIdentifications = CompanyVars::getIdentificationVarsFriendly($_SESSION['companyID']);
// merge the static and dynamic vars (*** BUT KEEP THE INT INDICES ***)
$idVars = array_merge($staticIdentifications, $companyVarIdentifications);
You can simply 'add' the arrays:
>> $a = array(1, 2, 3);
array (
0 => 1,
1 => 2,
2 => 3,
)
>> $b = array("a" => 1, "b" => 2, "c" => 3)
array (
'a' => 1,
'b' => 2,
'c' => 3,
)
>> $a + $b
array (
0 => 1,
1 => 2,
2 => 3,
'a' => 1,
'b' => 2,
'c' => 3,
)
