how to combine all values of two arrays into one continuous variable

[marcnyc]

Hello, I have two arrays with several values in them (say a1, a2, a3...an in array A and b1, b2, b3...bn in array 😎.

I would like to know if there is a function that allows me to have all the n values inside one variable in the following fashion:

a1 b2 a2 b2 a3 b3 etc

and I also would like to have them separated by a space but not by a comma or any other thing...

Thanks for suggestions

First of all do you've the same number of elements in both arrays?
If yes, then you can do the following:

$array1 = array(a1, a2, a3, a4);
$array2 = array(b1, b2, b3, b4);

$count_items = count($array1);
$new_var = "";
for($i=0; $i<$count_items; $i++) {
$new_var .= $array1[$i];
$new_var .= " ";
$new_var .= $array2[$i];
}

Hope this helps!!!

hey thanks for the solution! that worked out great!

yes, luckily there is the same number of variables in both array and I was surprised but happy to find out that apparently PHP does enter empty values in the array if there is subsequent form fields, so that did helped me and made everything easy!

Thanks again
