array push with key

@stephan_gerlachNov 23.2006

I want to do an array_push while assigning a key to the value I push. array_push doesn’t allow that so i wrote my own.

[code=php] function array_push_key (&$array, $key, $value) { $array[$key] = $value; }

[/code]

What do you guys think about it? is it usefull or is there a way to do it better

@NogDogNov 23.2006 — #Seems a bit easier to me to just type [b]$array['key'] = $value;[/b] in the first place, plus it will execute faster that way.

@pcthugNov 23.2006 — #Your function allows for only one array element (i.e. one key and one value) to be pushed. Thus it renders as useless, It would be better use [I]$array[$key] = [/I] because in that way there is no overhead of calling an unneeded function.

Here is a my interpretation (not-tested). It allows multiple array elements to be passed in the form of an one-dimensional array with two separate values.

Example:

[code=php]
 $my_array = array('foo' => 'bar', 'hello' => 'world');
 array_push($my_array, array('pcthug', 'cool'), array('apple' => 'red'))
 [/code]

<i>
 </i>$my_array:
 
 array(
 ['foo'] =&gt; 'bar',
 ['hello'] =&gt; 'world',
 ['pcthug'] =&gt; 'cool',
 ['apple'] =&gt; 'red',
 );

Code:

[code=php]
 function array_push_key(&$array)
 {
 $num = func_num_args();
 
  if($num < 2)
   return trigger_error('Insufficient number of arguments passed.', E_USER_WARNING);
 
  global $array;
 
  for($int = 1; $int <= $num; $int++)
  {
   $arg = func_get_arg($int)
 
   if(!is_array($arg) || count($arg) < 2)
   continue;
 
   $array[$arg[0]] = $arg[1];
  } 
 }
 [/code]

[code=php]
 
 function array_push_key (&$array, $key, $value) {
 $array[$key] = $value;
 }
 
 [/code]

[/QUOTE]If you like that function the following will be right up your street too.

[code=php]function MyEcho($input)
 {
 echo $input;
 }[/code]

How to use it:[code=php]MyEcho($input);[/code]Or how about this:

[code=php]function MyReturn($input)
 {
 return $input;
 }[/code]

In use you will be able to nest that:[code=php]$input = MyReturn(MyReturn(MyReturn(MyReturn(MyReturn($input)))));[/code]
