appending an array to an array

[kubla]

I wonder if it's possible to append an array to an array without looping through individual records?

Specifically, if a function returns an array such as:

$varname = function(foo);

how can I append the results of function(bar) to $varname without overwriting the results of function(foo)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

array_merge(array1,array2)and it will return an array with array1 appeneded by array2.

well, to be more specific, I have to seperate queries:

$first_result = mysql_query($first_query);
$second_result = mysql_query($second_query);

I need to pass both $first_result and $second_result to a script which parses the results.

Since the structure of both results is identical, rather than loop, I want to merge to the two results in the manner of:

$results = $first_result + $second_result;

or, as you've suggested:

$results = array_merge ($first_result, $second_result);

only neither works. At least, if they do, then the array which they're returning is no longer comprehensible to my script which works if it receives the array $first_result or $second_result.

I've been reading up here:

again, things should work, but they don't seem to.

Any further advice or suggestions on how to deal with this would be most welcome.
