Are there ready-made solutions for smart merging of associative arrays?

Question

PHP

There is a config like this:

{
  "name1": "...",
  "name2": "...",
  "name3": {
    "name4": "...",
    "name5": {
      "name6": "..."
    },
    "name7": "..."
  }
}

You need to merge it with this config:

{
  "name3": {
    "name5": {
      "name6": "123"
    }
  }
}

The result should be the original config with the changed value of the "name6" parameter.

Please let me know if there are solutions for this problem.

Answer 1

array_merge_recursive() will not work as expected with integer keys.
Therefore, you will have to write your own, look for a ready-made one, or even install the graze / array-merger package
