Question

How to write to the first element of an array?

I know reset can return the first element… but you can not use it to write to it.

Answer 1

Anything wrong with $yourarray[0] = $value ?

If you don’t want to overwrite the first element, try “array_unshift”:

EDIT:
ok, use this for non-numerical keys:

reset($yourarray);
$key = key($yourarray);
$yourarray[$key] = $newvalue;
