Array confusion

[newsomjk]

I'm sure this is something simple that I'm just overlooking right now, but it's got me very frustrated and I just want a quick fix...

I have 2 arrays, $data_old and $totals_old

 

Let's say each looks like this (with the 123456 being different for both): 

Array
(
    [2014] => Array
        (
            [123456] => Array
                (
                    [EMPS] => 114350
                )
        )
)

When I merge the two, I get something like this: 

Array
(
    [2014] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [123456] => Array
                        (
                            [EMPS] => 114350
                        )
                )
            [1] => Array
                (
                    [60] => Array
                        (
                            [EMPS] => 1470
                        )
                )
        )
)

How can I avoid the [0] and [1] and just have those be [123456] and [60], without referencing the 123456 and 60?

$a[2014][123456]['EMPS']=114350;

$b[2014][60]['EMPS']=1470;


$c = $a;

foreach ($b as $y => $ydata) {

    foreach ($ydata as $k => $v) {

        $c[$y][$k] = $v;

    }

}

echo '<pre>',print_r($c, true),'</pre>';


/* RESULT

Array

(

    [2014] => Array

        (

            [123456] => Array

                (

                    [EMPS] => 114350

                )


            [60] => Array

                (

                    [EMPS] => 1470

                )


        )


)

array_replace_recursive works.

We live and learn. I haven't used that one before.

I only found out about array_replace() and array_replace_recursive() not that long ago and realized that most of the times I wanted array_merge/merge_recursive() I wasn't actually trying to merge but to replace information (in an associative array).
