Creating new array from existing arrays in php

Question

I'm trying to create a new array containing values from pre-existing arrays.

<?php

$array1 = array(
    0 => 101,
    1 => 102,
    2 => 121,
    3 => 231,
    4 => 232,
    5 => 233
);

$array2 = array(
    0 => 58,
    1 => 98,
    2 => 45,
    3 => 48,
    4 => 45,
    5 => 85
);

$result = array();

Notice that the first element is from $array1, second element from $array2 and so on.

Any pointer is highly appreciated.

Example of how you can achieve this:

    $array = array(4,5,6);
    $array2 = array(8,9,0,12,44,);
    $count1 = count($array);
    $count2 = count($array2);
    $count = ($count1 > $count2) ? $count1 : $count2;
    $rez = array();
    for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
        if ($i < $count1) {
           $rez[] = $array[$i];
        } 
        if ($i < $count2) {
           $rez[] = $array2[$i];
        }


    }

var_dump($rez);

Result will be an array

array(8) {
  [0]=>
  int(4)
  [1]=>
  int(8)
  [2]=>
  int(5)
  [3]=>
  int(9)
  [4]=>
  int(6)
  [5]=>
  int(0)
  [6]=>
  int(12)
  [7]=>
  int(44)
}

but if you need to save empty values you can remove this checks if ($i < $count2)
