How to move to the last array position ?

fabiuz

Hi,

I am trying to find the last position into an array and then to put inside a new value at the next position.

I am using something like that to search for the last position:

$new_pos = end($array);
$new_pos = next($array);

but it seems not good: it always rewrite my first element in array :-(

My problem is that I want to know which is the greater index position reached and then put the element in the next position.

This is because the array could have unset elements in the middle and so count the array elements is not enoght...

Thank you for any help about

Fabio

Does your array use a numbered index? If so then you can just do this, I believe:

$new_pos = key(end($array));
$new_pos++
$array[$new_pos] = "New data";

Or if you just want to add to the end of your array just do this:

$array[] = "New data";

PHP will automatically add this element to the end of the array.

Thank you for your answer, yes my array is numeric and bidimensional. Unfortunally there is still wrong :-(

The problem happens each time I unset an item: when I add the next item it will delete the first... I don't understand why :-( .

My array has this format :

$array[0][0]= "duffy";
$array[0][1]= "blunder";
$array[1][0]= "Tom";
$array[1][1]= "Cat";
.
.
.
Then I do a
unset($array[0]);
and next I add a new item using the code suggested by you:

$new_pos = key(end($array));
$new_pos++;
$array[$new_pos][0] = $name;
$array[$new_pos][1] = $kind;

but as result there is only the new item in the array :-(

Could you help once more ?

Thank you very much!

hi,
I guess:

$array[]=array($name,$kind)

is what you want to do ...
