php adding to array code example

Example 1: php append to array

$myArr = [1, 2, 3, 4];

array_push($myArr, 5, 8);
print_r($myArr); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8]

$myArr[] = -1;
print_r($myArr); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, -1]

Example 2: php add item to array

<?php
  $z = ['me','you', 'he'];
  array_push($z, 'she', 'it');
  print_r($z);
?>

Example 3: add array to array php

<?php
$array1 = array("color" => "red", 2, 4);
$array2 = array("a", "b", "color" => "green", "shape" => "trapezoid", 4);
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
/*
Array
(
    [color] => green
    [0] => 2
    [1] => 4
    [2] => a
    [3] => b
    [shape] => trapezoid
    [4] => 4
)
*/
?>

Example 4: array_push php

// array_push ( array &$array [, mixed $... ] ) : int
// 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:

<?php
$array[] = $var;
?>
// repeated for each passed value.
// 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.

Example 5: add object in array php

$myArray = array("name" => "my name");
echo json_encode($myArray);
