Use a flat mapping array to convert another flat array into a 2d array

I have 2 arrays

$arr1 = Array
    (
        [REG1] => 94
        [REG3] => 45
    )

$arr2 =Array
    (
        [0] => REG1
        [1] => REG2
        [2] => REG3
        [3] => REG4
    )

I have to loop 2 arrays and I would like a result in one array like this:

Array(
    [0] => Array(
            [REG1] => 94
        )
    [1] => Array(
            [REG2] =>
        )
    [2] => Array(
            [REG3] => 45
        )
    [3] => Array(
            [REG4] => 
        )
)

But for the instand I can not do what I want, here is where I am:

private function mergeData($arr1, $arr2){

    $result = array_map(function($v1, $v2){
        $t[$v1] = $v2;
        return $t;
    }, $arr2, $arr1);
                
    return $result;
}

output:

Array(
    [0] => Array(
           [REG1] => 94
        )
    [1] => Array(
            [REG2] =>45
        )
    [2] => Array(
            [REG3] => 
        )
    [3] => Array(
            [REG4] => 
        )
)

I cannot correctly put the first array's values with the right keys. I tried with array_merge_recursive(), but also failed.

To enjoy all of the modern conveniences of PHP, write a functional-style script with array_map(), arrow functions syntax for brevity, and a null coalescing operator. Demo

var_export(
    array_map(
        fn($v) => [$v => $arr1[$v] ?? ''],
        $arr2
    )
);

Another option would be to use the array_map function and map key with the corresponding values, if any:

$arr1 = [
    'REG1' => 94,
    'REG3' => 45
];

$arr2 = [
    'REG1',
    'REG2',
    'REG3',
    'REG4'
];

$result = array_map(function($item) use($arr1){
    return [$item => isset($arr1[$item]) ? $arr1[$item] : ""];
},$arr2);

This will return:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [REG1] => 94
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [REG2] => 
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [REG3] => 45
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [REG4] => 
        )

)

Using a loop:

<?php

$arr1 = [
    'REG1' => 94,
    'REG3' => 45
];

$arr2 = [
    'REG1',
    'REG2',
    'REG3',
    'REG4'
];

$result = $arr2;
foreach($result as &$v)
    $v = [$v => $arr1[$v] ?? null];
unset($v);

var_export($result);

Output:

array (
  0 => 
  array (
    'REG1' => 94,
  ),
  1 => 
  array (
    'REG2' => NULL,
  ),
  2 => 
  array (
    'REG3' => 45,
  ),
  3 => 
  array (
    'REG4' => NULL,
  ),
)

$arr3 = array_fill_keys( $arr2, '' );

creates an array containing the values of $arr2 as keys with as value an empty string.

$arr3 =Array
    (
        [REG1] => '' 
        [REG2] => ''
        [REG3] => ''
        [REG4] => ''
    )

After that just merge.

$result = array_merge ( $arr3, $arr1 );
