I have an array with default settings, and one array with user-specified settings. I want to merge these two arrays so that the default settings gets overwritten with the user-specified ones.
I have tried to use array_merge
, which does the overwriting like I want, but it also adds new settings if the user has specified settings that doesn't exist in the default ones. Is there a better function I can use for this than array_merge
? Or is there a function I can use to filter the user-specified array so that it only contains keys that also exist in the default settings array?
