How to merge array with custom value in laravel?

March 28, 2022

I need help to concatenate 2 arrays with custom values, I’ve used tried array_merge() and array_combine(), the result is always not same with what I want please help me guys

Array 1

$month = [
'January',
'January',
'January',
'January',
'February'
];

Array 2

$weeks = [
'Week 1',
'Week 2',
'Week 3',
'Week 4',
'Week 1'
];

I want the output be like this

$newArray = [
'January - Week 1',
'January - Week 2',
'January - Week 3',
'January - Week 4',
'February - Week 1'
];

how to get the result like that

>Solution :

There isn’t any function that will automatically give you the result you want. You need to iterate through the data and create it yourself:

$month = [
    'January',
    'January',
    'January',
    'January',
    'February'
];

$weeks = [
    'Week 1',
    'Week 2',
    'Week 3',
    'Week 4',
    'Week 1'
];

$newArray = [];

foreach ($month as $index => $value) {
    // Create the new string you want, using the same index for both arrays
    $newArray[] = $value . ' - ' . $weeks[$index];
}
