The array_merge() function is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to merge two or more arrays into a single array. This function merges the elements or values of two or more arrays together to make a single array. 

The merging occurs in such a manner that the values of one array are appended at the end of the previous array. The function takes the list of arrays separated by commas as a parameter that is needed to be merged and returns a new array with merged values of arrays passed in the parameter.

Syntax:

array array_merge(array ...$arrays)

Parameters: This parameter holds the array list that needs to merge to make a single array.

Return Value: This function returns the merged array and returns empty array id parameter array is not given.

Note: In the 7.4.0 version, this function can work without parameters but formerly, at least one parameter is required for this function.

Example 1:

PHP 
<?php  $arr1 = array(5, 10, 15, 20);  $arr2 = array(11, 12, 13, 14);  $arr = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);  var_dump($arr);  ?>

Output:

array(8) {        [0] => int(5)        [1] => int(10)        [2] => int(15)        [3] => int(20)        [4] => int(11)        [5] => int(12)        [6] => int(13)        [7] => int(14)  }

Example 2:

PHP 
<?php  $arr1 = array(     'Geeks'  => "HTML",      'GFG'  => "CSS",      'Geek'  => "JavaScript",      'G4G' => "PHP" );  $arr2 = array(     'Geeks' => "CPP",      'G4G' => "Java",      'Geek' => "Python",      'GeeksforGeeks'   => "DSA" );  $arr = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);  var_dump($arr);  ?>

Output:

array(5) {        ["Geeks"] => string(3) "CPP"        ["GFG"] => string(3) "CSS"        ["Geek"] => string(6) "Python"        ["G4G"] => string(4) "Java"        ["GeeksforGeeks"] => string(3) "DSA"  }
