PHP merge arrays based on matching value of a given index

Question

I have two arrays like this :

Array1

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 101
            [Code] => 1075
            [Date] => 2012-03-03 17:13:12.433
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 103
            [Code] => 175
            [Date] => 2012-09-05 20:30:02.217
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 109
            [Code] => 178
            [Date] => 2012-07-05 20:30:02.217
        )

)

Array2

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Amount] => 1234
            [ID] => 101
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [Amount] => 1342
            [ID] => 103
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [Amount] => 0
            [ID] => 0
        )

)

I use this code to combine them based on the matching values of the ID index.

      $combined = array();
           foreach ($arr as $arrs) {
                   $comb = array('ID' => $arrs['ID'], 'Code' => $arrs['Code'],'Date' => $arrs['Date'],'Amount' => '');
                   foreach ($arr4 as $arr2) {
                       if ($arr2['ID'] == $arrs['ID']) {
                           $comb['Amount'] = $arr2['Amount'];
                           break;
                       }
                       else {
                        $comb['Amount'] = $arr2['Amount'];
                       }
                   }
               $combined[] = $comb;
           }
echo print_r($combined);

And here is the desired output I get from this code :

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 101
            [Code] => 1075
            [Date] => 2012-03-03 17:13:12.433
            [Amount] => 1234
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 103
            [Code] => 175
            [Date] => 2012-09-05 20:30:02.217
            [Amount] => 1342
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [ID] => 109
            [Code] => 178
            [Date] => 2012-07-05 20:30:02.217
            [Amount] => 0
        )

)

I want to optimize the code such that

$comb = array('ID' => $arrs['ID'], 'Code' => $arrs['Code'],'Date' => $arrs['Date'],'Amount' => ''); 

should be generated dynamically rather than hard coded. And instead of $comb['Amount'] = $arr2['Amount']; I want code to automatically add all the other feilds to the first array where the ID matches.

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

Simplest solution to make it completely dynamic apart from ID, do like below:

$arr2 = array_column($array2, "ID");

$finalArray = array();
foreach($array1 as $arr){
    $key = array_search($arr['ID'], $arr2);
    if($key ===false){
        $key = array_search(0, $arr2);
    }
    unset($array2[$key]['ID']);
    $finalArray[] =     array_merge($arr,$array2[$key]);
}

print_r($finalArray);

Answer 2

First use the ID as keys:

$arr1 = array_column($arr1, null, "ID");
$arr2 = array_column($arr2, null, "ID");

Then sort the key (to solve non-same original indexes:

ksort($arr1);
ksort($arr2);

Then use array_map as:

$res = array_map('array_merge', $arr1, $arr2);

Use array_values at the end to ignore the ID keys.

And if you have another array that include the ID field you can have the same logic on them - notice array_map can get more then 2 input array...

Reference: array_column, array_map, array_merge, ksort

Edited:

Used template to fix issue where element are missing:

$keys = array_merge(array_keys($a[0]), array_keys($b[0]));
$template = array_combine($keys, array_fill(0, count($keys), null)); // create array of null for all keys
$a = array_column($a, null, "ID");
$b = array_column($b, null, "ID");
ksort($a);
ksort($b);


$res = array_map(function ($e1, $e2) use ($template){
    if ($e1 && $e2) return array_merge($e1, $e2); // if exist merge
    $e = $e1 ? $e1 : $e2; //get the exist element
    return array_replace ($template, $e); // add it
}, $a, $b);

Notice this solution will be valid to only 2 array - it can be generalize but I leave that to you

I tweak your code to do what you need, here is the complete code that worked for me:

<?php

$arr=Array(
     Array("ID" => 101, "Code" => 1075, "Date" => "2012-03-03 17:13:12.433"),
    Array("ID" => 103, "Code" => 175, "Date" => "2013-03-03 17:13:12.433"),
    Array("ID" => 109, "Code" => 178, "Date" => "2014-03-03 17:13:12.433")
);

$arr4 = Array(
    Array("ID" => 101, "Amount" => 1234),
    Array("ID" => 103, "Amount" => 1342),
    Array("ID" => 0, "Amount" => 0)
);

$combined = array();

foreach ($arr as $i => $arrs) {
    $combined['ID'][$i] = $arrs['ID'];
    $combined['Code'][$i] = $arrs['Code'];
    $combined['Date'][$i] = $arrs['Date'];

    foreach ($arr4 as $arr2) {
        if ($arr2['ID'] == $arrs['ID']) {
            $combined['Amount'][$i] = $arr2['Amount'];
            break;
        }
    }

    if (!isset($combined['Amount'][$i])) {
        $combined['Amount'][] = 0;
    }

}

echo print_r($combined);

?>

If you need further manipulation for different reasons, i suggest you read about array_keys and array_values methods, which are very helpful.
