Merging multiple arrays into one array in PHP

Question

I have multiple arrays of objects, and I'm looking for a way to merge them into a single array. Each array represents a set of ratings for different companies, and I want to combine these arrays to create a single array that contains all the ratings. Here's an example of the arrays I have:

Array 1:

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 3
            [ratingdet_id] => 2
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Thangam Pazhamudhir Solai - Neelampur - CBE
            [ratings_name] => Store Response
            [rating_val] => 3.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:18:12
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 4
            [ratingdet_id] => 2
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Thangam Pazhamudhir Solai - Neelampur - CBE
            [ratings_name] => Waiting Time
            [rating_val] => 4
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:18:12
        )

)

Array 2:

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 1
            [ratingdet_id] => 1
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Dataprime Technologies- CBE 
            [ratings_name] => Store Response
            [rating_val] => 2.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:16:12
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [ratingdet_id] => 1
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Dataprime Technologies- CBE 
            [ratings_name] => Waiting Time
            [rating_val] => 4.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:16:12
        )

)

I expect to merge these arrays into a single array that looks like this:

Merged Array:

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 3
            [ratingdet_id] => 2
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Thangam Pazhamudhir Solai - Neelampur - CBE
            [ratings_name] => Store Response
            [rating_val] => 3.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:18:12
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 4
            [ratingdet_id] => 2
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Thangam Pazhamudhir Solai - Neelampur - CBE
            [ratings_name] => Waiting Time
            [rating_val] => 4
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:18:12
        )

    [2] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 1
            [ratingdet_id] => 1
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Dataprime Technologies- CBE 
            [ratings_name] => Store Response
            [rating_val] => 2.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:16:12
        )

    [3] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 2
            [ratingdet_id] => 1
            [first_name] => Muthupandi
            [company_name] => Dataprime Technologies- CBE 
            [ratings_name] => Waiting Time
            [rating_val] => 4.5
            [createdate] => 2023-08-31 13:16:12
        )

)

Can someone please guide me on how to achieve this in PHP? Should I use a loop or is there a built-in function that can help me achieve this efficiently? I want to make sure that the resulting merged array maintains the original order of objects from each source array. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Use array_merge() function, merges one or more arrays into one array. — Mukhila Asokan, Sep 01 '23 at 11:40
Please share more details, like the code involved. Are you sure this problem is related to MySQL or CodeIgniter in any way? — Nico Haase, Sep 01 '23 at 11:51

_"i expected"_ - based on _what_ ...? This lacks _any_ explanation of where that data is coming from, or what you are doing to it. — CBroe, Sep 01 '23 at 13:25

$mergedArray = array_merge($array1, $array2);

print_r($mergedArray);
