if i have undestanded what do you mean, you can do in this way:

$primary_list = array("apple","and","pear","firewood");

$changing_array = array( "apple" => "<a href=apple.htm",
                         "pear" => "<a href=pear.htm>");

$secondary_list = change_my_array($primary_list,$changing_array);

/* our function */
function change_my_list($a,$b)
{
        $c = array();
        foreach ( $a as $key => $value) {
                if (isset($b[$key])
                        $c[$key] = $b[$key];
                else
                        $c[$key] = $value;

        }
        return $c;
}
