Re: Array spread append

> I have the feeling I'm missing something, but how would this compare to array join Array join does neither append nor replace if a numeric index already exists. But you can do [...$arr0, ...$arr1]. https://3v4l.org/CIinR print json_encode([ [...['a', 'b'], ...['c', 'd']], // [a, b, c, d] array_merge(['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']), // [a, b, c, d] ['a', 'b'] + ['c', 'd'], // [a, b] array_replace(['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd']), // [c, d] ]); (I wish we could use yaml for these outputs) > $arr[...] = $arr2; Using spread in the array index would be different from current usage of the spread operator. But it could be a nice alternative to $arr = [...$arr, $arr2], as it does not require to repeat the first variable. So I am not against it. --- Andreas On Thu, 6 Apr 2023 at 00:36, Juliette Reinders Folmer <php-internals_nospam@adviesenzo.nl> wrote: > > On 6-4-2023 0:12, Vorisek, Michael wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I would like to open a discussion for > > https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/10791 . > > > > [https://opengraph.githubassets.com/a23cb565cc8acac6a33ecab5d9ee68a46f046a1ffe215501673156e506695430/php/php-src/issues/10791]<https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/10791> > > Array spread append · Issue #10791 · > > php/php-src<https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/10791> > > Description Currently spread operator can be used for almost anything.
