What's your all time favorite UNIX/Linux book?

I can bet everyone has their one favorite book even though we have had read many books on UNIX or Linux. My all time favorite is "Unix Power Tools". This book always made me geeky and I loved the little tricks/tips in the book. I still do!

The next favorite would be "Prentice Hall Unix and Linux System Administration Handbook".

Even though we get carried away by virtualization, zones, LPAR, nPAR, vPAR, and God knows what more, we still feel a little nostalgic when somebody talks about age old chroot or BSD jails, dont we?

So what's that book of yours that always gives you reason to know more?

ARRAY_MERGE_RECURSIVE(3)						 1						  ARRAY_MERGE_RECURSIVE(3)

array_merge_recursive - Merge two or more arrays recursively

SYNOPSIS
array array_merge_recursive (array $array1, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
array_merge_recursive(3) merges the elements of one or more arrays together so that the values of one are appended to the end of the previ- ous one. It returns the resulting array. If the input arrays have the same string keys, then the values for these keys are merged together into an array, and this is done recur- sively, so that if one of the values is an array itself, the function will merge it with a corresponding entry in another array too. If, however, the arrays have the same numeric key, the later value will not overwrite the original value, but will be appended. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - Initial array to merge. o $... - Variable list of arrays to recursively merge. RETURN VALUES
An array of values resulted from merging the arguments together. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_merge_recursive(3) example <?php $ar1 = array("color" => array("favorite" => "red"), 5); $ar2 = array(10, "color" => array("favorite" => "green", "blue")); $result = array_merge_recursive($ar1, $ar2); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [color] => Array ( [favorite] => Array ( [0] => red [1] => green ) [0] => blue ) [0] => 5 [1] => 10 ) SEE ALSO
