Merging an Array and an Object

[Geee]

I have an array of data that contains a key [id], and also a list of extended information relating to the data stored in an object that contains the key [chanid]. What I would like to do is loop through one or the other and output all the information from both data sources. The only way I can think to do it is to iterate through one and then the other which I would imagine would be hidiously bloated!

The data is as follows:

Array one, contains details of available TV channels:

 [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 22
            [name] => BBC ONE WALES
            [port] => 1252
            [mplexid] => 14
            [channum] => 1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 23
            [name] => BBC 2W
            [port] => 1253
            [mplexid] => 14
            [channum] => 2
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 28
            [name] => ITV1 WALES
            [port] => 1258
            [mplexid] => 15
            [channum] => 3
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 42
            [name] => S4/C
            [port] => 1272
            [mplexid] => 16
            [channum] => 4
        )

    [4] => Array
        (
            [id] => 44
            [name] => FIVE
            [port] => 1274
            [mplexid] => 16
            [channum] => 5
        )

    [5] => Array
        (
            [id] => 29
            [name] => ITV2
            [port] => 1259
            [mplexid] => 15
            [channum] => 6
        )



Object two, contains more information from a SOAP source:

 [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [id] => 130152
            [chanid] => 84
            [starttime] => 1217329200
            [endtime] => 1217331000

The 2 arrays are linked where [id] in array one is equal to [chanid] in the object 2, I am looking for a way to merge to two into one array, or possible reference the object by the id got from array 1. Effectively I am trying to avoid multiple iteration!

All suggestions greatfully received!!!

hav you looked at get_object_vars() and array_merge(). looks like you might get those to work for you.
