#34360 [NEW]: array_push with the new key as return value

From: yaxay at gmx dot net Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: array_push with the new key as return value Description: ------------ The function array_push returns the count of the array after the new element/s is/are pushed onto it. However it would be rather useful to have the key of the first pushed value returned. Until now I have to rely on a rather slow user function to do the same. Of course it makes no sense to modify the function, because some may need it to return the element count. However I think it would be very handy to be able to access the elements after pushing them onto the stack, therefore I wonder whether you could create a built in function to do so. PS: I was not allowed to pick irrelevant for PHP version, so I picked 5.0.4 since I'm currently developing for PHP5 only. The funtion would be great for PHP4 too, though. PPS: I hope I did not overlook an already existing function..
