array_push — Push one or more elements onto the end of array
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;
?>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 differed from the
$var[]behaviour where a new array was created, prior to PHP 7.1.0.
arrayThe input array.
values
