+) 補充合併陣列 (+) 補充,在 What is the difference between array_merge and array + array in PHP?  一文中,一個範例如下:
'four'  => 4, ,怎麼會這樣?! 'four'  => 4, 12, 13, 14, 15 的 12, 13, 14, 15 到哪去!'two' =>  2, 10, 11, 12, 13 之中,左側陣列的 $arr1 index 分別為:
+ $arr2 合併的 $arr4 'four' 只會顯示 4
'two' 的 index 0 ~ 3 顯示 value 取代 $arr2 'four' 的 index 0 ~ 34,array index 0 ~ 3 的 value 是 12, 13, 14, 15,請閱讀 PHP 文件-Arrays規範
<?php
// 範例
$arr1 = array( 'zero' =>  0,
               'one'  =>  1,
               'two'  =>  2, 10, 11, 12, 13
        );
         
$arr2 = array( 'one'   => 11,
               'three' => 3,
               'four'  => 4, 12, 13, 14, 15
        );
$arr4 = $arr1 + $arr2;
print_r($arr4); 
/* 我以為的      $arr4: (
 *   'zero'  => 0,
 *   'one'   => 1,
 *   'two'   => 2, 10, 11, 12, 13
 *   'three' => 3,
 *   'four'  => 4, 12, 13, 14, 15
 * )
 */
/* 實際拿到的      $arr4: (
 *   'zero'  => 0,
 *   'one'   => 1,
 *   'two'   => 2, 
 *   [0]     => 10,
 *   [1]     => 11,
 *   [2]     => 12,
 *   [3]     => 13
 *   'three' => 3,
 *   'four'  => 4, 
 * )
 */
12, 13, 14, 15 ,可以怎麼做(排除使用 php function array_merge())?
<?php
// 方式1
$arr2 = array( 'one'   => 11,
               'three' => 3,
               4  => 4, 12, 13, 14, 15
        );
// [4] => 4, [5] => 12, [6] => 13, [7] => 14, [8] => 15
// 方式2
$arr2 = array( 'one'   => 11,
               'three' => 3,
               'four'  => 4, 
               4       => 12, 13, 14, 15
        );
// [4] => 12, [5] => 13, [6] => 14, [7] => 15,
經過一系列 +  踩坑,可以理解 + does not append or merge. 使用 + 時,請記得它的 union operator。
與 + 類似的 array function 則是 array_replace()
