Description
array 
array_merge_recursive ( array array1 [, array ...] )
     array_merge_recursive() merges the elements of
     one or more arrays together so that the values of one are appended
     to the end of the previous one.  It returns the resulting array.
    
     If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the values for
     these keys are merged together into an array, and this is done
     recursively, so that if one of the values is an array itself, the
     function will merge it with a corresponding entry in another array
     too. If, however, the arrays have the same numeric key, the later
     value will not overwrite the original value, but will be appended.
    
     
Example 1. array_merge_recursive() example 
<?php $ar1 = array("color" => array("favorite" => "red"), 5); $ar2 = array(10, "color" => array("favorite" => "green", "blue")); $result = array_merge_recursive($ar1, $ar2); ?>
 |  
 
       The $result will be:
       
Array (     [color] => Array         (             [favorite] => Array                 (                     [0] => red                     [1] => green                 )
              [0] => blue         )
      [0] => 5     [1] => 10 )
