array_push()

The array_push() method adds one or more element values to the end of an array, and returns the updated array.

Syntax

array_push($array, $value1, $value2, ... $valueN)

The array_push() function has one required parameter and some optional parameters:

• $array: Specifies the input array.
• $value1 ... $valueN: Specifies the element values to add. This function adds one or more element values at a time which are separated by commas.

The array_push() function returns an array with the added elements.

Example

The following example uses the array_push() function to add "Chevrolet", and "Toyota" element values to the end of the indexed array $car_brands:

<?php
  $car_brands = array("Mercedes","Ford");
  array_push($car_brands,"Chevrolet","Toyota");
  print_r($car_brands);
?>

The example will result in the following output:

Array (
[0] => Mercedes
[1] => Ford
[2] => Chevrolet
[3] => Toyota
)

Codebyte Example

Note: The example uses count() to highlight the length of the array before and after the addition of elements. A foreach loop is used to cycle through the keys and values of the array.
