array_map() the built-in function of PHP is fast and useful one.

eg1) fetching an array of integer from a textbox. [1,2,3,4]
You can get it by just a line.

$myarray = array_map( 'intval' , explode( ',' , $post_data ) ) ;


eg2) merging arrays with unique elements of arrays or objects
Neither "operator +" nor array_merge() are enough for the purpose.

$merged_array = array_map( 'unserialize' , array_unique( array_map( 'serialize' , array_merge( $array1 , $array2 ) ) ) ) ;
