I've been trying the following for a day now and can't get it to work.
I'm getting information from a paginated source (say 3 pages in this example. So I've got 3 arrays to merge:
Array
(
[status] => Active
[nrEntries] => 6
[entries] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[sgname] => Merc
[timeentered] => 2016-02-08 04:30:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[sgname] => bystander
[timeentered] => 2016-03-17 20:55:00
)
)
)
Array
(
[status] => Active
[nrEntries] => 6
[entries] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[sgname] => Elvis
[timeentered] => 2016-03-08 04:30:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[sgname] => marcAR
[timeentered] => 2016-03-07 20:55:00
)
)
)
Array
(
[status] => Active
[nrEntries] => 6
[entries] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[sgname] => Killer
[timeentered] => 2016-03-09 05:30:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[sgname] => MyName
[timeentered] => 2016-03-05 21:45:00
)
)
)
The result I am looking for is to merge them into 1 array that I can return as a result.
Array
(
[status] => Active
[nrEntries] => 6
[entries] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[sgname] => Merc
[timeentered] => 2016-02-08 04:30:00
)
[1] => Array
(
[sgname] => bystander
[timeentered] => 2016-03-17 20:55:00
)
[2] => Array
(
[sgname] => Elvis
[timeentered] => 2016-03-08 04:30:00
)
[3] => Array
(
[sgname] => marcAR
[timeentered] => 2016-03-07 20:55:00
)
[4] => Array
(
[sgname] => Killer
[timeentered] => 2016-03-09 05:30:00
)
[5] => Array
(
[sgname] => MyName
[timeentered] => 2016-03-05 21:45:00
)
)
)
The problem that I'm running into is that with array_merge it won't work because of the identical index numbers of the records.
I tried the following, but that doesn't work either.
<?PHP
// add child array to the end of $result
for ($i = 0 ; $i < 2; $i++) {
$result['entries'][($page*2) + $i][] = $resultChild['entries'][$i];
}
?>
$a1['entries'] = array_merge_recursive($a1['entries'], $a2['entries'], $a3['entries']);
