insert a new element into array key in php

Question

I have a array like this-

$array = array('o' => 'one', 't' => 'three', 'f' => 'four');

I want to add a new element in the 't' key of the array. The result will be like the following:

$array = array('o' => 'one', 't' => 'three','six', 'f' => 'four');

How can i do this?

And how would access it? you can use array inside array instead. — lkdhruw

You can't do it like that, For your target You have to use 2 dimension array, from other words array of array,

$array['t']=array('three','six');

and you can see the results like this,

Array ( [o] => one [t] => Array ( [0] => three [1] => six ) [f] => four );

You can easily access anything inside array using keys, if you want to access key "t",

$array['t'][0] = three and $array['t'][1] = six

This is the right way to solve your question.

There is how i do it.

$array_for_t_key = ['three'];

$array = array('o' => 'one', 't' => $array_for_t_key, 'f' => 'four');

array_push($array_for_t_key,"six");

//Redeclare the array

$array = array('o' => 'one', 't' => $array_for_t_key, 'f' => 'four');
