Description
int
array_push ( array &array, mixed var [, mixed ...] )
array_push() treats
array as a stack, and pushes the passed
variables onto the end of array. The
length of array increases by the number of
variables pushed. Has the same effect as:
repeated for each
var.
Returns the new number of elements in the array.
Example 1. array_push() example
<?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana");
array_push($stack, "apple", "raspberry");
print_r($stack);
?>
|
This example would result in $stack having
the following elements:
Array
(
[0] => orange
[1] => banana
[2] => apple
[3] => raspberry
)
|
|
Note:
If you use array_push() to add one element to the
array it's better to use $array[] = because in that
way there is no overhead of calling a function.
Note:
array_push() will raise a warning if the first
argument is not an array. This differs from the
$var[] behaviour where a new array is created.
See also array_pop(),
array_shift(), and
array_unshift().
