[Resolved] array_push() question

[BigBadKev]

Hi All,

How do i add another element to a assoc array? for example

$first = 1;
$newbie = array("first" => $first);
......do something......

$second = 2;
$newbie = array("second" => $second);

what happens is only the last entry to the array is assigned so I lose $first in the array so how do i get the second value stored without losing the first value?
Remeber i want to add the values at different times.

Thanks

You can merge arrays using array_merge( $arr1 , $arr2 ...

In you example you don't need to go to that trouble.

$first = 1; 
$newbie["first"] = $first; 
......do something...... 

$second = 2; 
$newbie["second"] = $second;

Hi Halfabee,

wow I did not know that, so how are these two blocks of code different?

$first = 1;  

$newbie["first"] = $first;  

$first = 1; 
$newbie = array("first" => $first); 

Thanks

the main difference is that if the $newbie array already exists, then the second one should delete it and create a new $newbie
