note 49984 added to function.array-push

Note that array_push() will, as described, return the COUNT of the array after adding a new item, not necessarily the INDEX of that new item: <?php $array = array(3 => 'three', 5 => 'five'); echo "\$array = "; print_r($array); echo "\n\n"; $to_push = array(1,2,4,); foreach($to_push as $var) { echo "calling array_push(\$array,$var); retval is "; echo array_push($array,$var); echo "\n"; } echo "\$array = "; print_r($array); ?> The output of above is: $array = Array ( [3] => three [5] => five ) calling array_push($array,1); retval is 4 calling array_push($array,2); retval is 5 calling array_push($array,4); retval is 6 $array = Array ( [3] => three [5] => five [7] => seven [8] => 1 [9] => 2 [10] => 4 ) Notice how when array_push($array,1) was called, the new element has a key of 8 but array_push() returns 4. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-push.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+49984 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49984&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49984&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49984&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49984&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+49984&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+49984&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
