Hi how do I combine or merge the following 2 arrays in php without looping? Any help is appreciated.
$first = array( "apple", "orange" );
$second = array( "pear" );
// Needed the output to be:
array( "apple", "orange", "pear" );
// I have tried array_merge but it seems doesn't work?
array_merge( $first, $second );
I’m sorry array_merge works. I just forgot to assign the result to the variable, dumb me. 
In what way is it not working, are you getting an error? array_merge should work:
<?php
$first = array( "apple", "orange" );
$second = array( "pear" );
$third=array_merge( $first, $second );
var_dump($third);
?>
Why? What result does it give you?
ok, problem solved
