Question

I have two array like this and want to merge like

Take 1st index Array 1 check

• if it is present in Array 2
  Insert in Array 3
  add weight of Array 1 and Array 2
• else if not present
  take 1st index of Array 2

Take 1st index of Array 2 and check

• if it is present in Array 1
  Insert in Array 3
  add weight of Array 1 and Array 2
• else if not present
  take 2nd index of Array 1

Take 2nd index of Array 1 and check

• if it is present in Array 2
  Insert in Array 3
  add weight of Array 1 and Array 2
• else if not present
  take 1st index of Array 2

Take 1st index of Array 2 and check

Note above logic is for given example
For Example

Array 1
(
    [144] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 2
    )
    [145] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 1
    )
    [177] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 1
    )
)

Array 2
(
    [93] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [133] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [144] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [145] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [141] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 1
    )
)

I want result as

Array 3
(
    [144] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 6
    )
    [145] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 5
    )
    [93] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [133] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 4
    )
    [177] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 1
    )
    [141] => Array
    (
        [weight] => 1
    )
)

Thanks in Advance

You seems to want second array first,
then append first array

maybe this is works

$a = ...; //first array
$b = ...; // second array

var_export($a);
var_export($b);

$rtn = $tmp = array();
foreach ($b as $idx=>$arr)
{
  if (isset($a[$idx]))
  {
    $rtn[$idx]['weight'] = $arr['weight'] + $a[$idx]['weight'];
    unset($a[$idx]);
  }
  else
  {
    $tmp[$idx]['weight'] = $arr['weight'];
  }
}

$res = $rtn+$tmp+$a;
print_r($res);

result

array (
  144 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 2,
  ),
  145 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 1,
  ),
  177 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 1,
  ),
)array (
  93 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 4,
  ),
  133 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 4,
  ),
  144 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 4,
  ),
  145 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 4,
  ),
  141 =>
  array (
    'weight' => 1,
  ),
)Array
(
    [144] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 6
        )

    [145] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 5
        )

    [93] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 4
        )

    [133] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 4
        )

    [141] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 1
        )

    [177] => Array
        (
            [weight] => 1
        )
