Swapping array elements from two different arrays

[Chris]

How would I replace the elements with matching keys between $array1
and $array2 to end up with 'a,b,c,d,e,f'.

$array1 - Array ( [2] =c [3] =d )

$array2 - Array ( [0] =a [1] =b [2] =x [3] =x [4] =e [5] =>
f )

Many thanks,

Chris

you can use this code

foreach($array1 as $key =$value)
{
if(array_key_exists($key, $array2))
{
$array2[$key] = $value;
}
}

Cheers,

That has solved my problem...fuller snippet given below.

// Performing SQL query
dbConnect("$db");
$query = "SELECT * FROM room";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die("Query failed : " .
mysql_error());

$query_booking = "SELECT * FROM booking WHERE weeknumber =
$weeknumber";
$result_booking = mysql_query($query_booking) or die("Query failed :
" . mysql_error());

while($rowRoom = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$timetable = explode(',', $rowRoom['timetable']);
}

while($rowBooking = mysql_fetch_array($result_booking, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
$period = $rowBooking['period'];
$teacher = $rowBooking['teacher'];
$booking[$period] = "$teacher";
}

foreach($timetable as $key =$value)
{
if(array_key_exists($key, $booking))
{
$int = $key -1;
$timetable[$int] = $booking[$period];
}
}

Many thanks,

A foreach loop would do. If your actual array has strings for keys, not
integers, another approach is this:

<?php
$array1 = array('a' ='foo', 'd' ='bar','y' ='not valid');
$array2 = array('a' ='x','b' ='foz','c' ='baz','d' ='x');

$rows_to_insert = array_intersect_key($array1,$array2);
$merged = array_merge($array2,$rows_to_insert);
print_r($merged);
?>
