数组运算符

表格 15-8. 数组运算符

例子名称结果
$a + $b联合$a 和 $b 的联合。
$a == $b相等如果 $a 和 $b 具有相同的键/值对则为 TRUE
$a === $b全等如果 $a 和 $b 具有相同的键/值对并且顺序和类型都相同则为 TRUE
$a != $b不等如果 $a 不等于 $b 则为 TRUE
$a <> $b不等如果 $a 不等于 $b 则为 TRUE
$a !== $b不全等如果 $a 不全等于 $b 则为 TRUE

+ 运算符把右边的数组附加到左边的数组后面,但是重复的键值不会被覆盖。

<?php
$a
= array("a" => "apple", "b" => "banana");
$b = array("a" => "pear", "b" => "strawberry", "c" => "cherry");

$c = $a + $b; // Union of $a and $b
echo "Union of \$a and \$b: \n";
var_dump($c);

$c = $b + $a; // Union of $b and $a
echo "Union of \$b and \$a: \n";
var_dump($c);
?>

执行后,此脚本会显示:
Union of $a and $b:
array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(5) "apple"
  ["b"]=>
  string(6) "banana"
  ["c"]=>
  string(6) "cherry"
}
Union of $b and $a:
array(3) {
  ["a"]=>
  string(4) "pear"
  ["b"]=>
  string(10) "strawberry"
  ["c"]=>
  string(6) "cherry"
}

数组中的单元如果具有相同的键名和值则比较时相等。

例子 15-5. 比较数组

<?php
$a
= array("apple", "banana");
$b = array(1 => "banana", "0" => "apple");

var_dump($a == $b); // bool(true)
var_dump($a === $b); // bool(false)
?>

hi  just see one more example of union....

<?php
$a
= array(1,2,3);
$b = array(1,7,8,9,10);
$c = $a + $b; // Union of $a and $b
echo "Union of \$a and \$b: \n";
//echo $c
print_r($c);
?>
//output
Union of $a and $b: Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 9 [4] => 10 )

When comparing arrays that have (some or all) element-values that are themselves array, then in PHP5 it seems that == and === are applied recursively - that is
 * two arrays satisfy == if they have the same keys, and the values at each key satisfy == for whatever they happen to be (which might be arrays);
 * two arrays satisfy === if they have the same keys, and the values at each key satisfy === for whatever (etc.).

Which explains what happens if we compare two arrays of arrays of arrays of...

Likewise, the corresponding inversions for != <> and !==.

I've tested this to array-of-array-of-array, which seems fairly convincing. I've not tried it in PHP4 or earlier.

This manual page doesn't mention < & co for arrays, but example 15-2 in
   http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.operators.comparison.php
goes to some lengths to explain how they work.

The code from texbungalow at web dot de below is slightly incorrect.  If my memory from primary school history is correct, roman numerals don't allow things like MIM - it has to be MCMXCIX, ie each step is only 1 level down (sorry, I can't explain it very well.

a print_r($segments) comparing the snippets should explain.

Corrected code:
<?php
function roman ($nr ) {
    
$base_digits= array (
          
1=> "I",
          
10=> "X",
          
100=> "C",
          
1000=> "M",
           );
    
$help_digits= array (
          
5=> "V",
          
50=> "L",
          
500=> "D",
           );
    
$all_digits= $base_digits+ $help_digits;
     foreach (
$base_digits as $key1=> $value1 )
           foreach (
$all_digits as $key2=> $value2 )
                 if (
$key1< $key2 && $key1 >= ($key2 / 10))
                      
$segments[$key2- $key1 ]= $value1. $value2;
    
$segments+= $all_digits;
    
krsort ($segments );
     foreach (
$segments as $key=> $value )
           while (
$key<= $nr ) {
                
$nr-= $key;
                
$str.= $value;
                 }
     return
$str;
     }
echo
roman (1998);  //  prints MCMXCVIII
?>

Note that + will not renumber numeric array keys.  If you have two numeric arrays, and their indices overlap, + will use the first array's values for each numeric key, adding the 2nd array's values only where the first doesn't already have a value for that index.  Example:

$a = array('red', 'orange');
$b = array('yellow', 'green', 'blue');
$both = $a + $b;
var_dump($both);

Produces the output:

array(3) { [0]=>  string(3) "red" [1]=>  string(6) "orange" [2]=>  string(4) "blue" }

To get a 5-element array, use array_merge.

use '+=' to quickly append an array to another one:

function roman ($nr ) {
     $base_digits= array (
           1=> "I",
           10=> "X",
           100=> "C",
           1000=> "M",
           );
     $help_digits= array (
           5=> "V",
           50=> "L",
           500=> "D",
           );
     $all_digits= $base_digits+ $help_digits;
     foreach ($base_digits as $key1=> $value1 )
           foreach ($all_digits as $key2=> $value2 )
                 if ($key1< $key2 )
                       $segments[$key2- $key1 ]= $value1. $value2;
     $segments+= $all_digits;
     krsort ($segments );
     foreach ($segments as $key=> $value )
           while ($key<= $nr ) {
                 $nr-= $key;
                 $str.= $value;
                 }
     return $str;
     }

echo roman (888);  //  prints DCCCLXXXVIII

[]= could be considered an Array Operator (in the same way that .= is a String Operator).
[]= pushes an element onto the end of an array, similar to array_push:
<?
  $array
= array(0=>"Amir",1=>"needs");
 
$array[]= "job";
 
print_r($array);
?>
Prints: Array ( [0] => Amir [1] => needs [2] => job )
