in case you came here looking for a function that returns an array containing the values of `all` arrays with intersecting keys:
<?php
function array_merge_on_key($key, $array1, $array2) {
$arrays = array_slice(func_get_args(), 1);
$r = array();
foreach($arrays as &$a) {
if(array_key_exists($key, $a)) {
$r[] = $a[$key];
continue;
}
}
return $r;
}
$array1 = array("id" => 12, "name" => "Karl");
$array2 = array("id" => 4, "name" => "Franz");
$array3 = array("id" => 9, "name" => "Helmut");
$array4 = array("id" => 10, "name" => "Kurt");
$result = array_merge_on_key("id", $array1, $array2, $array3, $array4);
echo implode(",", $result); ?>
