array_push()

Anon

I've searched the forum looking for more info on using this with assoc. arrays and was unsuccessful. So heres my question. Why do I get

Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/html/test.php on line 9

when I try to run this.
array_push($sent, $test => 0);

Where $sent is an array and $test='test';
Am I doing something wrong? Can someone tell me the correct syntax to use to accomplish this? Basically I want to add a new key,value pair to the end of an array. Thanks.

p.s. I'm using php4.0.2

Here's what I did to get it to work:
$push = array("test" => "test", "test2" => "test);
array_push($sent,$push);

I don't think that works quite right. Say you have this piece of code.

$sent = array("test" => 0,"test1" => 1);
$push = array("test2" => 2, "test3" => 3);
array_push($sent,$push)

If you go to access the array
$sent[test] == 0; //true
$sent[test1] == 1; //true
$sent[test2] == 2; //false. There is no such key "test2" in the $sent array.

The way I'm planning on using this is building an assoc. array based off of dynamic keys. Any idea how I can loop through a bunch of keys and build an assoc array out of those keys?

Instead of using array_push, use array_merge:

$sent = array("test" => 0,"test1" => 1);
$push = array("test2" => 2, "test3" => 3);
$new_array = array_merge($sent,$push);

This will avoid the 2d array.

Hope this helps.
