Question

I have an array:

    $data = array(
        'loggedin' => false
    );

i want to add other keys as well their values if the user is logged in so i use:

    if ( $this->auth_model->loggedin()){//user is logged in
        $data["loggedin"] = true;//set to true
        $data["user_id"] = $this->session->userdata["uid"];//add new key with its value on $data array
    }

is this the best way to do it or should i use array_push and such?

Answer 1

No need to add overhead by calling a function (like array_push).

Yes. That’s the way to do it.
