Adding an Element to a PHP Array
Using Square Brackets
The simplest way is by using square brackets. See the example:
<?php
$arr = [1, 2, 3];
$arr[] = 4;
$arr[] = 5;
var_dump($arr);
?>
Code execution result:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Using array_push
To add a new element to the end
of an array, you can use the function array_push.
See the example:
<?php
$arr = [1, 2, 3];
$arr = array_push($arr, 4, 5);
var_dump($arr);
?>
Code execution result:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Using array_unshift
To add a new element to the beginning
of an array, you can use the function array_unshift.
See the example:
<?php
$arr = [1, 2, 3];
$arr = array_unshift($arr, 4, 5);
var_dump($arr);
?>
Code execution result:
[4, 5, 1, 2, 3]
