array_replace_recursive
array_replace_recursive
Replaces elements from passed arrays into the first array recursively
array **array_replace_recursive** array $array array $replacements
replaces the values of
with the same values from all the following
arrays. If a key from the first array exists in the second array, its value
will be replaced by the value from the second array. If the key exists in the
second array, and not the first, it will be created in the first array.
If a key only exists in the first array, it will be left as is.
If several arrays are passed for replacement, they will be processed
in order, the later array overwriting the previous values.
array_replace_recursive``array
is recursive : it will recurse into
arrays and apply the same process to the inner value.
array_replace_recursive
When the value in the first array is scalar, it will be replaced
by the value in the second array, may it be scalar or array.
When the value in the first array and the second array
are both arrays, will replace
their respective value recursively.
array_replace_recursive
arrayThe array in which elements are replaced.
replacementsArrays from which elements will be extracted.
Returns an .
array
Voorbeeld: example
<?php
$base = array('citrus' => array("orange"), 'berries' => array("blackberry", "raspberry"));
$replacements = array('citrus' => array('pineapple'), 'berries' => array('blueberry'));
$basket = array_replace_recursive($base, $replacements);
print_r($basket);
$basket = array_replace($base, $replacements);
print_r($basket);
?>
Array
(
[citrus] => Array
(
[0] => pineapple
)
[berries] => Array
(
[0] => blueberry
[1] => raspberry
)
)
Array
(
[citrus] => Array
(
[0] => pineapple
)
[berries] => Array
(
[0] => blueberry
)
)
Voorbeeld: and recursive behavior
<?php
$base = array('citrus' => array("orange") , 'berries' => array("blackberry", "raspberry"), 'others' => 'banana' );
$replacements = array('citrus' => 'pineapple', 'berries' => array('blueberry'), 'others' => array('litchis'));
$replacements2 = array('citrus' => array('pineapple'), 'berries' => array('blueberry'), 'others' => 'litchis');
$basket = array_replace_recursive($base, $replacements, $replacements2);
print_r($basket);
?>
Array
(
[citrus] => Array
(
[0] => pineapple
)
[berries] => Array
(
[0] => blueberry
[1] => raspberry
)
[others] => litchis
)
