Hey everyone, I have a database result that returns from a method. I need to push 4 more values onto the stack but I need to name the keys. array_push() automatically assigns an int. How can I overcome this behavior?
Array
(
[these] => df
[are] => df
[the] => sdf
[keys] => sd
[ineed] => daf
[0] => something
[1] => something
[2] => something
[3] => something
)
The keys that are int values need to be changed. How can I do this using array_push?
Just like this:
$arr['anotherKey'] = "something";
$arr['yetAnotherKey'] = "something";
$arr['andSoOn'] = "something";
or
$arr = array_merge($arr, array(
'anotherKey' => "something",
'yetAnotherKey' => "something",
'andSoOn' => "something"
));
...but I'd recommend the first method, since it merely adds more elements to the array, whereas the second will have a lot more overhead (though it's much more flexible in some situations).
If the four values you want to use are already in an associative array themselves, you can use + to merge the two arrays:
$array1 = array('these' => ..., 'are' => .., 'keys' => ...);
$four_entries = array('four' => ..., 'more' => ..., 'keys' => ..., '!' => ...);
$merged_array = $array1 + $four_entries;Why not
$arr["whateveryouwant"] = something
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.
If you want to add more entries to the array, all you need to do is:
Existing array;
$array =
{
"these" => "df"
"are" => "df"
"the" => "sdf"
"keys" => "sd"
"ineed" => "daf"
}
Adding to the array
$array["new_key1"] = "something";
$array["new_key2"] = "something";
If you want to assign the name you do not use the array_push function, you just assign the element:
$array['somekey'] = 'somevalue';
So, in short, you can't do that using array_push.
