Example: PHP example to merge two arrays.
<?php
// Define array1 with keys and values
$array1 = array(
"subject1" => "Python",
"subject2" => "sql"
);
// Define array2 with keys and values
$array2 = array(
"subject3" => "c/c++",
"subject4" => "java"
);
// Merge both array1 and array2
$final = array_merge($array1, $array2);
// Display merged array
print_r($final);
?>
Output
Array
(
[subject1] => Python
[subject2] => sql
[subject3] => c/c++
[subject4] => java
)
Example 2: Merge multiple arrays.
<?php
// Define array1 with keys and values
$array1 = array(
"subject1" => "Python",
"subject2" => "sql"
);
// Define array2 with keys and values
$array2 = array(
"subject3" => "c/c++",
"subject4" => "java"

// Define array3 with keys and values
$array3 = array(
"subject5" => "CN",
"subject6" => "OS"
);
// Define array4 with keys and values
$array4 = array(
"subject7" => "data mining",
"subject8" => "C#"
);
// Merge all arrays
$final = array_merge($array1,
$array2, $array3, $array4);
// Display merged array
print_r($final);
?>
Output
Array
(
[subject1] => Python
[subject2] => sql
[subject3] => c/c++
[subject4] => java
[subject5] => CN
[subject6] => OS
[subject7] => data mining
[subject8] => C#
