Combine similar array information into a Json

I have two different Json files, each generated from a different php array. They both contain one piece of similar information that I want to link together in one document.

Php array one looks like this:

$HisNameIsMyName = array(
    'His' => 'John',
    'Name' => 'Jacob',
    'Is' => 'Jacob',
    'My' => 'Jacob',
    'Name2' => 'Shmidt');

And was converted into Json via the following code:

$compiled = json_decode(file_get_contents('compiled.json'), true);
foreach ($HisNameIsMyName as $word => $publisher) {
    $compiled[$word]['publisher'] = $publisher;
}
file_put_contents('compiled.json', json_encode($compiled, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE));

And output the following:

{
    "His": {
        "publisher": "John"
    },
    "Name": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
    },
    "Is": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
    },
    "My": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
    },
    "Name2": {
        "publisher": "Shmidt"
    }
}

Each Publisher has been assigned a number in a different array and looks like the following:

$numberToPublisher = array(
    "John" => 1,
    "Jacob" => 2,
    "Jingle" => 3,
    "Himer" => 4,
    "Shmidt" => 5

How would I take the number assigned to the Publisher in $numberToPublisher and add it to the Json so that it would look like the following:

{
    "His": {
        "publisher": "John"
        "pubNumber": "1"
    },
    "Name": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
        "pubNumber": "2"
    },
    "Is": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
        "pubNumber": "2"
    },
    "My": {
        "publisher": "Jacob"
        "pubNumber": "2"
    },
    "Name2": {
        "publisher": "Shmidt"
        "pubNumber": "5"
    }
}

Extend your existing loop like this:

foreach ($HisNameIsMyName as $word => $publisher) {
    $compiled[$word]['publisher'] = $publisher;
    $compiled[$word]['pubNumber'] = $numberToPublisher[$publisher];
}
