PHP: Create array of arrays, ignoring empty arrays

I need to create an array of arrays.

I have been using array_map(null,$a,$b,$c) 开发者_如何学Pythonto do this and it works fine, however, it doesn't work if one of the mapped arrays doesn't exist.

To get around this problem I have used:

$myArray= array();
if (isset($a)) {
    array_push($myArray,$a);
}
if (isset($b)) {
    array_push($myArray,$b);
}
if (isset($c)) {
    array_push($myArray,$c);
}

Is there a more elegant/shorter method of writing this?

I've tried applying some functions via array_map($function,$a,$b,$c) but with no luck.

$myArray = array_filter(array($a, $b, $c));

You could use the following function:

function joinArrays(){
  $arrays = func_get_args();
  $output = array();
  foreach($arrays as $array){
     if(!empty($array)) array_push($output, $array);
  }
  return $output;
}

call like: joinArrays($a, $b, $c, etc..);
