How to merge two arrays by summing the merged values [duplicate]

Answer 1

$sums = array();
foreach (array_keys($a1 + $a2) as $key) {
    $sums[$key] = (isset($a1[$key]) ? $a1[$key] : 0) + (isset($a2[$key]) ? $a2[$key] : 0);
}

You could shorten this to the following using the error suppression operator, but it should be considered ugly:

$sums = array();
foreach (array_keys($a1 + $a2) as $key) {
    $sums[$key] = @($a1[$key] + $a2[$key]);
}

Alternatively, some mapping:

$keys = array_fill_keys(array_keys($a1 + $a2), 0);
$sums = array_map(function ($a1, $a2) { return $a1 + $a2; }, array_merge($keys, $a1), array_merge($keys, $a2));

Or sort of a combination of both solutions:

$sums = array_fill_keys(array_keys($a1 + $a2), 0);
array_walk($sums, function (&$value, $key, $arrs) { $value = @($arrs[0][$key] + $arrs[1][$key]); }, array($a1, $a2));

I think these are concise enough to adapt one of them on the spot whenever needed, but to put it in terms of a function that accepts an unlimited number of arrays and sums them:

function array_sum_identical_keys() {
    $arrays = func_get_args();
    $keys = array_keys(array_reduce($arrays, function ($keys, $arr) { return $keys + $arr; }, array()));
    $sums = array();

    foreach ($keys as $key) {
        $sums[$key] = array_reduce($arrays, function ($sum, $arr) use ($key) { return $sum + @$arr[$key]; });
    }
    return $sums;
}

Answer 2

its not so complicate do something like:

$a3 = $a1;

foreach($a2 as $k => $v) {
    if(array_key_exists($k, $a3)) {
       $a3[$k] += $v;
    } else {
       $a3[$k] = $v; 
    }
}

You can use array_push function.I hope it will help you

foreach($a2 as $a2){
    array_push($a1, $a2);
    }

    print_r($a1);

Output:

Array
(
    [a] => 2
    [b] => 0
    [c] => 5
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 9
    [2] => 7
    [3] => 10
)

OR you can change your logic in key value with numbers.It works even it have same number as follows:

<?php
$beginning = array(1 => 'foo');
$end = array(1 => 'bar');
$result = array_merge((array)$beginning, (array)$end);
print_r($result);
?>

Output:

Array (
 [0] => foo
 [1] => bar
 )

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My contribution:

function array_merge_numeric_values()
{
    $arrays = func_get_args();
    $merged = array();
    foreach ($arrays as $array)
    {
        foreach ($array as $key => $value)
        {
            if ( ! is_numeric($value))
            {
                continue;
            }
            if ( ! isset($merged[$key]))
            {
                $merged[$key] = $value;
            }
            else
            {
                $merged[$key] += $value;
            }
        }
    }
    return $merged;
}

Pass as many arrays to it as you want. Feel free to add some more defense, ability to accept multidimensional arrays, or type checking.
