Need Help merging 2 arrays

I have 2 arrays that are not equal but need to merge them into 1 array

$a = array('books',
'clothes',
'dvds',
'jewelry',
'toys');

$b = array('0001',
'0001',
'0001',
'0001',
'0001',
'0002',
'0002',
'0002',
'0002',
'0002');

Final need merge the arrays like this:

$merge = array('0001,books',
'0001,clothes',
'0001,dvds',
'0001,jewelry',
'0001,toys',
'0002,books',
'0002,clothes',
'0002,dvds',
'0002,jewelry',
'0002,toys');

Thanks

 

<?php
    //the function that makes the merge as you want it to be :
    function customMerge($a,$b)
    {
        $ret = array();
        
        if(is_array($a) && count($a) > 0 && is_array($b) && count($b) > 0)
        {
            $rounds = count($b) / count($a);
            for($i = 0 ; $i < $rounds ; $i++)
            {
                foreach($a as $key=>$value)
                {
                    $b_val = $b[$i+(count($a)*$i)];
                    array_push($ret,$b_val.','.$value);        
                }
            }
        }
        return $ret;
    }
    
    //define your array's
    $a = array('books','clothes','dvds','jewelry','toys');  
    $b = array('0001','0001','0001','0001','0001','0002','0002','0002','0002','0002');
    
    //run and print the resulting array
    echo '<pre>';
    print_r(customMerge($a,$b));
    echo '</pre>';
?>
