You could just use array_merge() indiscriminately then use array_unique() to remove any duplicate entries.

@shaik - array_unique will not work on nested arrays as one may expect. If this is what you're referring to then you may need to give additional details as to what your initial data set looks like. If you have 4 arrays which contain strings you should be able to use array_merge() to create one array of all your strings before using array_unique() to remove duplicate entries – M31 Mar 28 '17 at 00:49

Here is how you could implement the array_merge, array_unique solution. I am making an assumption that you have 4 arrays like so:

$tag1Array = array('diet','exercise');
$tag2Array = array('diet','exercise');
$tag3Array = array('diet','exercise');
$tag4Array = array('water intake','diet','exercise');

$commontags = array_unique(array_merge($tag1Array,$tag2Array,$tag3Array,$tag4Array));

This should result in a single array of the unique values present in any of the 4 tag arrays.
