FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Installation

composer require rikudou/array-merge-recursive

Description

The php function array_merge_recursive behaves a little confusingly and not at all like array_merge.

Example of confusing behavior:

As you can see, the built in function doesn't replace the same keys but instead merges them together.

Compared to regular array_merge:

The array_merge replaces the values with whatever comes latest but doesn't work for deep array structures.

This library replaces the array_merge_recursive behavior to work like regular array_merge while maintaining the ability to merge deep arrays recursively.

Example:

Deeper level array example

These two arrays are used in the following example:

Result of built-in array_merge_recursive

Here you can see that key2 gets changed to array with both values added.

Result of built-in array_merge

Since array_merge doesn't work recursively it completely replaces the test key with value from 2nd array.

Result of array_merge_recursive from this library

This library correctly replaces the key2 with later value while keeping the whole tree.
