Merges multiple arrays, recursively, and returns the merged array.

This function is equivalent to drupal_array_merge_deep(), except the input arrays are passed as a single array parameter rather than a variable parameter list.

The following are equivalent:

• drupal_array_merge_deep($a, $b);
• drupal_array_merge_deep_array(array($a, $b));

The following are also equivalent:

• call_user_func_array('drupal_array_merge_deep', $arrays_to_merge);
• drupal_array_merge_deep_array($arrays_to_merge);

  foreach ($arrays as $array) {
    foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
      // Renumber integer keys as array_merge_recursive() does. Note that PHP
      // automatically converts array keys that are integer strings (e.g., '1')
      // to integers.
      if (is_integer($key)) {
        $result[] = $value;
      }

        $result[$key] = drupal_array_merge_deep_array(array($result[$key], $value));
      }
      // Otherwise, use the latter value, overriding any previous value.
      else {
        $result[$key] = $value;
