WeberDev.com -> PHP Manual -> Push one or more elements onto the end of array

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:

 <?php
$array[] = $var;
?>

repeated for each var .

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.

Parameters

array: The input array.
var: The pushed value.

Return Values

Returns the new number of elements in the array.

Examples

Example #1 array_push() example

 <?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana");
array_push($stack, "apple", "raspberry");
print_r($stack);
?>

The above example will output:

  Array (     [0] => orange     [1] => banana     [2] => apple     [3] => raspberry )
