Question

I need to add some details to an array without overwriting the old data.

At the moment I have something like this if I print_r($data)

 Array
 (
   [one] => Hello
   [two] => Hello World
 )

I then have a function that adds some data to the array

 foreach ($rubric as $rs){
      if($rs['position']==1){$data['one']=$rs;}
  if($rs['position']==2){$data['two']=$rs;}
 }

This gives me the following if I print_r($data)

Array
(
   [one] => Array
      (
         [id] => 1
      )
   [two] => Array
      (
         [id] => 2
      )
)

Does anyone have any ideas

What I would like to do is….

 foreach ($rubric as $rs){
      if($rs['position']==1){$data['one']['details']=$rs;}
  if($rs['position']==2){$data['two']['details']=$rs;}
 }

With the aim of adding a new subarray called “details” within each array item…

Does that make sense? If I try to run that code however I get the following error

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Array to string conversion

Could someone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

See, array_push array_unshift.

Array push puts an element at the end. Array unshift adds a number to the beginning of the array.

You can also use the structure

$myArray['nameOfNewElement']=$newElement;

This adds $newElement to the array $myArray;
