add new key:value pair to array

[biernath]

I've got the following problem.
I'd like to add new key:value pairs to an array

I tried the following:

array_push(array, $key => $value);

that doesn't work

the second try was

$array2 = ($key => $value)
$array = array_merge($array, $array2)

here I've got the problem that there is not $key the key in $array. the keys in $array are 0,1,2 ...

any idea !!!

Did you try $array[$key]=$value; ?

This is the correct use of array push

$array = array("10","20","30","40");
$new_val = "50";

array_push($array,$new_val);
then when you do print_r($array) you'll get
[0]=>10
[1]=>20
[2]=>30
[3]=>40
[4]=>50

you only pass the value, don't try and pass the key as its automatically be assigned
