合并两个对象，一个在数组内

Question

I need to merge 2 objects using PHP (Laravel) one of them is in an array, the other is a plain object, but also contains a nested object, is there any simple way to do it?

Edit: The result should be a single object

 [
  {
    "id": 1,
    "release_date": "1998",
    "license_plate": "098HBV",
    "state_id": 1,
    "type_id": 7,
    "created_at": "2016-11-18 11:39:19",
    "updated_at": "2016-11-18 11:39:19",
    "deleted_at": null
  }
]

and

 {
  "id": 1,
  "parent_id": null,
  "name": "Chrysler",
  "state_id": 1,
  "type_id": 1,
  "created_at": "2016-11-18 11:39:10",
  "updated_at": "2016-11-18 11:39:10",
  "deleted_at": null,
  "pivot": {
    "vehicle_id": 1,
    "brand_id": 1
  }
}

Desired output should be:

{
   "id": 1,
   "release_date": "1998",
   "license_plate": "098HBV",
   "name": "Chrysler",

}

It has to be something similar, otherwise it would break a lot of JavaScript code connected to the first object.

Answer 1

<?php
   //Merge the two as an array
   $merged = array_merge($array,(array)$object);
   //As an object
   $merged = (object)$merged;
