If I have the following array. What would be the best way to add a element to list[] for the last element of $myArray[]? Note that list[] has numerical indexes (i.e. not associative). Thanks!
$myArray[] = array( 'name' => 'hello', 'list' => array() );
If $myArray is not associative
array_push($myArray[count($myArray)-1]['list'], 'new element');
or
$myArray[count($myArray)-1]['list'][] = 'new element';
with this method you change the position of the array pointer.
end you have to call it at first, then use key to get the key of the last element and can then modify the array. If $myArray is not associative you might want to do that.You can do it like this:
$last = array_pop($myArray); // remove last element of array
$last['list'][] = "new element"; // add element to array
$myArray[] = $last; // add changed last element again
$myArray[count($myArray)-1]['list'][]="something to go in 'list' array";//this shall append
//to the second dimension array with keyname 'list'
There is actually a more beautiful way (in my opinion):
$ref = &$myArray[];
$ref['list'][] = 'new item'
As you can see $ref - is reference to the last element of $myArray, so you can change the last element by changing $ref;
array_push function do that.
array_push()
$array[] = $var; which he has used in his code already. So I don't think he's searching for this.
