PHP: Adding arrays together
- by Svish
Could someone help me explain this? I have two snippets of code, one works as I expect, but the other does not.
This works
$a = array('a' => 1, 'b' => 2);
$b = array('c' => 3);
$c = $a + $b;
print_r($c);
// Output
Array
(
[a] => 1
[b] => 2
[c] => 3
)
This does not
$a = array('a', 'b');
$b = array('c');
$c = $a + $b;
print_r($c);
// Output
Array
(
[a] => 1
[b] => 2
)
What is going on here?? Why doesn't the second version also add the two arrays together? What have I misunderstood? What should I be doing instead? Or is it a bug in PHP?
