Examples

Example #1 array_merge_recursive()

$map:
(  
    test: (circle: 1, square: 2, triangle: 3),
    test2: numbers,
    test3: names
);

$map2:
(  
    test: (circle: blue, triangle: bob),
    test2: colors,
    test4: shapes
);

$result: array_merge_recursive($map, $map2);

Output:

(  
    test: (circle: blue, square: 2, triangle: bob),
    test2: colors,
    test3: names,
    test4: shapes
);

Example #2 array_merge_recursive()

$list:
(  
    (1, 2, 3),
    (4, 5, 6)
);

$list2:
(  
    (7, 8, 9),
    (10, 11, 12)
);

$result: array_merge_recursive($list, $list2);

Output:

    0: (
        0: 1,
