[Editors Note: See http://www.php.net/array_splice for a function that does the same thing.] I needed a function to add data to a particular place in an array without loosing any other data in the array. Here it is: function insert_into_array($array,$ky,$val) { $n = $ky; foreach($array as $key => $value) { $backup_array[$key] = $array[$key]; } $upper_limit = count($array); while($n <= $upper_limit) { if($n == $ky) { $array[$n] = $val; echo $n; } else { $i = $n - "1"; $array[$n] = $backup_array[$i]; } $n++; } return $array; } So that: $list = array( "0" => "zero", "1" => "one", "2" => "two", "3" => "three", "4" => "four", "5" => "five", "6" => "six"); $value = "New Number Three"; $key = "3"; $new = insert_into_array($list,$key, $value); Will Return: $list = Array ( [0] => zero [1] => one [2] => two [3] => three [4] => four [5] => five [6] => six ) $new= Array ( [0] => zero [1] => one [2] => two [3] => New Number Three [4] => three [5] => four [6] => five [7] => six ) --was-- I needed a function to add data to a particular place in an array without loosing any other data in the array.
