Further Modification on the array_push_associative function
1. removes seemingly useless array_unshift function that generates php warning
2. adds support for non-array arguments
<?
// Append associative array elements
function array_push_associative(&$arr) {
$args = func_get_args();
foreach ($args as $arg) {
if (is_array($arg)) {
foreach ($arg as $key => $value) {
$arr[$key] = $value;
$ret++;
}
}else{
$arr[$arg] = "";
}
}
return $ret;
}
$items = array("here" => "now");
$moreitems = array("this" => "that");
$theArray = array("where" => "do we go", "here" => "we are today");
echo array_push_associative($theArray, $items, $moreitems, "five") . ' is the size of $theArray.<br />';
echo "<pre>";
print_r($theArray);
echo "</pre>";
?>
Yields:
4 is the size of $theArray.
Array
(
[where] => do we go
[here] => now
[this] => that
[five] =>
)
