Answer 1

If you could index the array by gear or some unique value, it would be a lot easier.

$indexed = array();

// create an array using 'gear' as the index
foreach($arrayValue as $value) {
    $indexed[$value['gear']] = $value;
}

// loop over each object
foreach($objectArray as $obj) {
    $value = $indexed[$obj->gear]; // find the corresponding array
    foreach($value as $name => $val) {
        $obj->$name = $val; // assign each array index/value pair to the object
    }
}

If possible to get your code to return the array with the index by default, you can remove the first foreach loop.

Hope that helps.
