New Oh yes, do avoid that
The syntax and operation of array_merge and some of the other "magic" utilities for arrays never became natural for me. Sure, I probably re-invented a wheel or two, but at least I understood what it was doing. Which makes me the guy you always read about in TheDailyWTF that re-invented the String class.

New I had to experiment with them before I understood them.
array_diff I use a little, though carefully. array_merge I don't use - it's a little bit simplistic for they way I often work with arrays that need that operation; the + operator works much better.

OTOH, I use array_filter a bit.
