How would I write a script that will loop thru all the keys, add keys

Something like the below. Thanks...

Loop through the array and make an array of all keys. Then loop through
the array again and add the missing keys.

Thanks, Sjoerd. I got it to work with the code below. I was thinking
about using array_fill_key to fill all the missing keys with zeros as
well but I wasn't sure if that was better than what I have below. Let
me know if there's a better way to do this. Thanks...

$arr=array(my 1st array from above);
$keys=array();
//loop and merge the sub-arrays to get all the keys
foreach($arr as $a){
$keys=array_merge($keys,$a);
}
//loop to add key and value if it doesn't exists
foreach($arr as $k=>$a){
foreach($keys as $k1=>$v){
if(!array_key_exists($k1,$a)) $arr[$k][$k1]=0;
}
ksort($arr[$k]);
}

$arr = array(...);

foreach ($arr as $a){
$keys = array_merge($keys, $a);

$defaults = array_fill_keys(array_keys($keys), 0);
foreach ($arr as &$entry) {
$entry = array_merge($defaults, $entry);
