Merge arrays in PHP

vidyashankara

I have the following arrays

Array
(
	[0] => 2  A1 B1 C1 X	   

[1] => 2  A2 B2 C3 Y		 

[2] => 2  A3 B3 C3 Z	   

[3] => 3  D1 E1 F1 A		

[4] => 3   D2 E2 F2 B		   

[5] => 3   D3 E3 F3 C		   

[6] => 4  G1 H1 I1 J		

[7] => 4  G2 H2 I2 K	   

[8] => 4  G3 H3 I3 L   

)

How do i merge it to output the following?

Array
(
	[0] => 2  A1 B1 C1 X	 A2 B2 C3   Y	  A3 B3 C3 Z	  

[1] => 3  D1 E1 F1 A	 D2 E2 F2 B	  D3 E3 F3 C   

[2] => 4   G1 H1 I1 J	 G2 H2 I2 K	G3 H3 I3 L   
}

Is this possible? Please help me out. I was thinking of the following code

$count = $array[0];
if (!array_unique($count)) {
array_merge($array)
}

Doesnt work, i dont know how to define the arrays to merge...

Look at and run this little example

<?php
$array1 = array("color" => "red", 2, 4);
$array2 = array("a", "b", "color" => "green", "shape" => "trapezoid", 4);
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
echo"<pre>";
print_r($result);
//or append
$result = $array1 + $array2;
print_r($result);
?>

I know that example. But, is it possible to include an IF statement there?
it should merge all the array whose first element is the same..
