Merging 3 arrays

[AikenDrum]

Hi there,

 

I am using HTML forms to post values from a data entry page. When they arrive on the second page - I have to extract them from the POST array. This is fine, but I now have to merge them somehow.

 

When I use print_r to view the POSTed data, I see:

 

    [namesUnem] => Array
        (
            [0] => Brian
            [1] => Richard
            [2] => Sarah
        )

    [commentsUnem] => Array
        (
            [0] => Brian Comments here
            [1] => Richard Comments should be entered here
            [2] => Sarah's Comments were also entered here
        )

    [namesHW] => Array
        (
            [0] => Sally
            [1] => Kate
            [2] => William
        )

    [commentsHW] => Array
        (
            [0] => Sally Comments here
            [1] => Kate's Comments should be entered here
            [2] => William's' Comments were also entered here
        )

 

There are 2 more such arrays being POSTed. I would need to merge in order to see the following:

 

 

[Name] => Brian [Comment] => Brian Comments here [Type] => namesUnem

[Name] => Richard [Comment] => Richard Comments should be entered here [Type] => namesUnem

[Name] => Sarah [Comment] => Sarah's Comments were also entered here [Type] => namesUnem

[Name] => Sally [Comment] => Sally Comments here [Type] => namesHW

[Name] => Kate [Comment] => Kate's Comments should be entered here [Type] => namesHW

[Name] => William [Comment] => William's' Comments were also entered here [Type] => namesHW

 

 

Any help greatly appreciated

 

Kindest Regards

Hi there,

 

many thanks indeed for the speedy reply - it's almpst there but not quite right.

 

When I use combine, it uses the first array as the key, and does not allow for a 3rd or 4th array to be added.

 

This is what it returns:

 

Array

(

    [brian] => Brian Comments here

    [Richard] => Richard Comments should be entered here

    [sarah] => Sarah's Comments were also entered here

)

 

 

This is the code I used:

 

$nameUnemPost          = (isset($_POST['nameUnem']))? $_POST['nameUnem'] : "";
$commentUnemPost       = (isset($_POST['commentUnem']))? $_POST['commentUnem'] : "";

$combined = array_combine($nameUnemPost, $commentUnemPost);

 

Any ideas as to the next step?

 

Many thanks indeed
