I have these two arrays:

$array1 = array( '0' => 'apple', '1' => ''   , '2' => 'cucumber' );

$array2 = array( '0' => '',      '1' => 'bmw', '2' => 'chrysler' );

if I do this to merge these arrays:

$result_arr = array_merge($array1, $array2);
print_r( count ( array_filter($result_arr) ) );

the output would be 4.

However, I need to get the number 3. So, when there are two things on the same position (same key) count it only once.

Is it possible to merge/count elements in arrays like that?
