PHP: array_merge() in alternate order (zip order)?

Question

Is there a native PHP function to zip merge two arrays?

Look at the following example:

$a = array(\"a\",\"b\",\"c\");
$b = array(\"d\",\"e\",\"f\");
         


        

Answer 1

There is no PHP native function for this purpose. However according to the comment of @Mark Baker there is a short possibility to implement this:

$a = array("a","b","c");
$b = array("d","e","f");
$c = array("g","h","i");

function array_zip(...$arrays) {
    return array_merge(...array_map(null, ...$arrays));
}

var_dump(array_zip($a,$b,$c));
