array_push()

[Anon]

I'm having a problem trying to add a new element to an existing array. Here's the code.

$a = array("1" => array("quantity" => 1, "price" => 1.99),"2" => array("quantity" => 2, "price" => 99.99));

array_push(array("3" => array("quantity" => "3", "price" => 5.99)));

I don't think this is correct cause i'm not getting back the correct key, value pairs.

Any response is greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Allen.

correction:

array_push($a, array(.......));

would this work for you?:

$a[3] = array("quantity" => "3", "price" => 5.99));

I think the extra array() construct is creating an extra level in the added data.

Try array_push($oldarray,array("quantity"=>"3","price" => 5.99));

without the extra one with the array("3"=>... part.

A good way to see what you've build is to use:

print implode("<BR>",array_keys($array));

and see what you're getting back.

You can walk sub arrays easily too:

($array is multi-dimensional below):

foreach ($array as $part){print implode("<BR>",array_keys($part));
}
Happy hunting

You hit it right on the nose Scott. Basically, I was attempting to store the itemid at the top element and having subelement properties such as quantity and price. After reading your recommendations, I decided to make the itemid as part of the subelements (a cleaner construct to the array). This is what I did.

$a = array();

array_push($a, array("itemid" => 4, "quantity" => 2, "price" => 24.99));
array_push($a, array("itemid" => 3, "quantity" => 1, "price" => 19.99));

This worked!

Thanks for the help.
