Difference between array_combine and array_merge?

array_combine is used to combine two or more arrays while array_merge is used to append one array at the end of another array.

array_combine is used to create a new array having keys of one array and values of another array that are combined with each other whereas array_merge is used to create a new array in such a way that values of the second array append at the end of the first array.

array_combine doesn't override the values of the first array but in array_merge values of the first array overrides with the values of the second one.

Example of array_combine

<?php
$arr1    = array("sub1","sub2","sub3");
$arr2    = array(("php","html","css");
$new_arr = array_combine($arr1, $arr2);
print_r($new_arr);
?>

OUTPUT:

 Array([sub1] => php [sub2] => html [sub3 =>css)

Example of array_merge

<?php
$arr1 = array("sub1" => "node", "sub2" => "sql");
$arr2 = array("s1"=>"jQuery", "s3"=>"xml", "sub4"=>"Css");
$result = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);
 print_r($result);
?>

OUTPUT:

 Array ([s1] => jquery [sub2] => sql [s3] => xml [sub4] =>Css )
