Add new user and pass to existing array

[homer09001]

im writing a small member system, and im storing usernames and password in a php file in an array:

<?

$logins = array(
"username1"=>"password1",
"username2"=>"password2"
);

?>

problem is how can i use php to add more users to this array without losing the current contents?

You can modify the array directly, of course. Alternatively, you can add on the fly:

$logins["username3"] = "password3";

Acctualy sorry how can i implement this as the Array is stored in a seperate file to the rest of the scripts?
