Tips for learning PHP arrays and using functions to insert elements (2)

In the previous article "PHP Array Learning Skillful Use of Functions to Insert Elements (1)", we introduced two methods of adding new elements to the array. Use array_unshift() to add new elements to the array. To insert a new element at the beginning, use array_push() to insert a new element at the end of the array. Today we will continue to introduce the method of inserting new elements into the PHP array, and introduce two methods to you.

This article uses code examples to introduce the array_pad() and array_splice() functions to see how they insert new elements.

1. The array_pad() function inserts new elements into the array

array_pad($array,$size,$value)The function can insert a certain key value$valueinto the array$array, thereby filling the array to the specified length$size. (The$sizeparameter can be understood as the final number of elements in the array, that is, the length of the array after the insertion operation).

Let’s take a closer look at the following example:

As can be seen fromarray_pad($arr,5,1),$size## The value of # is 5, then there are 5 elements in the array after the insertion operation; and there are 3 elements in the original array, then only 2 elements need to be inserted. And because the inserted value$valueis 1, you only need to insert 2 elements with the value "1". Therefore, the output result is:

As can be seen from the above example, the array_pad() function can insert elements at the end of the array. In fact, the array_pad() function can also insert elements at the end of the array. Insert elements at the beginning; and the key is the

$sizeparameter. The

$sizeparameter has three values: if

• is a positive number, elements will be inserted at the end of the array;
  If
• is a negative number, insert the element at the beginning of the array;

• If its absolute value is less than or equal to the length of the

  $arrayarray, no element will be inserted. Insert operation.

The output result is:

The value of parameter

$valuecan also be an array, that is Insert an entire array, and the original array will become a two-dimensional array.

The output result is:

2. The array_splice() function inserts new elements into the array

array_splice($array,$start,$length,$value)The function is a powerful function that can be used to delete array elements, replace array elements, and also insert arrays element (just set the parameter$lengthto 0).

When

$length=0, then the parameter$startcan specify the position (subscript) to start inserting, and the parameter$valuecan The insertion value can be specified (if there are multiple values, it needs to be set as an array).

Let’s take a closer look at the following example:

The output result is:

As can be seen from the above example, when When

$start=0, the $value values will be inserted into the beginning of the array in order. So what do you do if you want to insert an element at the end of the array?

Simple, set the value of

$startto "array length value", that is,count($arr).

The output result is:

Okay, that’s all. If you want to know anything else, you can click this. → →
