How to merge two arrays by summing the merged values [duplicate]

$sums = array();
foreach (array_keys($a1 + $a2) as $key) {
    $sums[$key] = (isset($a1[$key]) ? $a1[$key] : 0) + (isset($a2[$key]) ? $a2[$key] : 0);
}

You could shorten this to the following using the error suppression operator, but it should be considered ugly:

$sums = array();
foreach (array_keys($a1 + $a2) as $key) {
    $sums[$key] = @($a1[$key] + $a2[$key]);
}

Alternatively, some mapping:

$keys = array_fill_keys(array_keys($a1 + $a2), 0);
$sums = array_map(function ($a1, $a2) { return $a1 + $a2; }, array_merge($keys, $a1), array_merge($keys, $a2));

Or sort of a combination of both solutions:

$sums = array_fill_keys(array_keys($a1 + $a2), 0);
array_walk($sums, function (&$value, $key, $arrs) { $value = @($arrs[0][$key] + $arrs[1][$key]); }, array($a1, $a2));

I think these are concise enough to adapt one of them on the spot whenever needed, but to put it in terms of a function that accepts an unlimited number of arrays and sums them:

function array_sum_identical_keys() {
    $arrays = func_get_args();
    $keys = array_keys(array_reduce($arrays, function ($keys, $arr) { return $keys + $arr; }, array()));
    $sums = array();

    foreach ($keys as $key) {
        $sums[$key] = array_reduce($arrays, function ($sum, $arr) use ($key) { return $sum + @$arr[$key]; });
    }
    return $sums;
}

My contribution:

function array_merge_numeric_values()
{
    $arrays = func_get_args();
    $merged = array();
    foreach ($arrays as $array)
    {
        foreach ($array as $key => $value)
        {
            if ( ! is_numeric($value))
            {
                continue;
            }
            if ( ! isset($merged[$key]))
            {
                $merged[$key] = $value;
            }
            else
            {
                $merged[$key] += $value;
            }
        }
    }
    return $merged;
}

Pass as many arrays to it as you want. Feel free to add some more defense, ability to accept multidimensional arrays, or type checking.

its not so complicate do something like:

$a3 = $a1;

foreach($a2 as $k => $v) {
    if(array_key_exists($k, $a3)) {
       $a3[$k] += $v;
    } else {
       $a3[$k] = $v; 
    }
}
