I've been searching through SO and come across a couple solutions that all feel like hacks for getting around the default array_merge_recursive
behavior on numeric keys. For instance, I've read that you can add an underscore to the beginning, changing your number to a string.
Anyway, here's my data set and intended outcome...
array ( "Name1", "Name2", "Name3" );
array ( "Data1", "Data2", "Data3" );
array ( "Price1", "Price2", "Price3" );
Intended outcome:
array ( 1 => array ( "Name1", "Data1", "Price1" ), 2 => array ( "Name2", "Data2", "Price2" ), 3 => array ( "Name3", "Data3", "Price3" );
I'm sure you're aware of how array_merge_recursive normally operates with numeric keys... Here's my current merged results.
array ( "Name1", "Name2", "Name3", "Data1", "Data2", "Data3", "Price1", "Price2", "Price3");
Is there a proper method for this? What are the pros and cons to individual methods, like adding an underscore to create a string key?
