RE: [PHP-DEV] Feature request - allow to append multiple elements to an array

Good point there, thanks! Although I not a big fan on assigning values when calling functions it is a valid syntax, and I agree that introducing ambiguity does not make any sense. I think these are actually the options to append multiple items to an array: 1. array_push($arr, 1, 2, 3); 2. $arr = […$arr, 1, 2, 3); 3. foreach ([1, 2, 3] as $i) { $arr[] = $i; } 4. foreach ([1,2,3] as $arr[]); // a bit weird, but it does work for php 5.4+[1] I personally would go with the 2nd if posible, 1st for compatibility, but maybe it could be a bit less redundant with the David’s proposed syntax: $arr[] = …[1, 2, 3]; I wonder if it will even better in terms of performance… [1] https://3v4l.org/7rbiX Regards, Iván Arias.
