(which would contain a mix of numeric and assoc keys) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-09-10 21:23:28] cmb@php.net Sorry, I fail to understand what you are proposing. If I want to add an element to an arbitrary array, I would use $pr[] = $element; Wouldn't that work for you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-23 07:37:23] raat1979 at gmail dot com Thinking about this there is currently is no (normal) way to get the next available numeric member of an array, one could consider this a bug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-04-23 06:53:31] raat1979 at gmail dot com looking at the php source array_push ends with zend_hash_num_elements I guess that's basically performing the equivalent of a php count(array) http://www.phpinternalsbook.com/hashtables/hashtable_api.html shows there is a call zend_hash_next_free_element the add function would need to work exactly like the push function except for the last element which should call zend_hash_next_free_element just before storing the value and store its result in a variable to be used as the return value (or break on first failure and issue error like push does) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
