User: Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a PHP project and I'm struggling with merging multiple arrays into one variable. I have searched for a solution but couldn't find a clear answer, so I thought asking here might help.
Let me provide some background on my project. I'm building a web application that deals with user data. I have different arrays containing data such as usernames, email addresses, and phone numbers. Now, I need to merge all these arrays into a single variable for further processing.
I have tried using array_merge(), but it doesn't seem to work as expected. The arrays are not being merged properly, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's an example of what I've tried:
```php
$usernames = ['john', 'mary', 'alex'];
$emails = ['john@example.com', 'mary@example.com', 'alex@example.com'];
$phoneNumbers = ['1234567890', '9876543210', '5555555555'];
$merged = array_merge($usernames, $emails, $phoneNumbers);
```
The output I'm getting is not what I expected. It seems like only the first array is being merged, but the rest of the arrays are not added to the result.
Could someone please guide me on how to properly merge multiple arrays into one variable in PHP? Is there a different function or approach I should use? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

User 3: Hello everyone! When I faced a similar challenge, I discovered an alternative method that worked well for me. Instead of using array_merge() or array_merge_recursive(), I utilized the array_push() function to merge the arrays into a single variable.
Let me demonstrate how you can apply this approach to your project:
By using the spread operator `...`, we can expand the values of each array and push them into the `$merged` array. This effectively merges all the arrays into one.
I found this method to be quite convenient and straightforward, ensuring all the values from each array are correctly merged.
Give this approach a try and let me know if it helps you achieve the desired outcome. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
