Another way to tack something to the beginning of an array is with array_merge().
$plans = array('AARP'=>'Senior', 'AAA'=>'Automobile Club');
$plans = array_merge(array("BAR"=>"Best Available Rate"), $plans);
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
array_unshift — 在数组开头插入一个或多个单元
array_unshift() 将传入的单元插入到
array 数组的开头。注意单元是作为整体被插入的，因此传入单元将保持同样的顺序。所有的数值键名将修改为从零开始重新计数，所有的文字键名保持不变。
array输入的数组。
values插入的变量。
返回 array 数组新的单元数目。
| 版本 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 7.3.0 | 现在可以只用一个参数来调用，之前至少需要两个参数。 |
Example #1 array_unshift() 例子
<?php
$queue = array("orange", "banana");
array_unshift($queue, "apple", "raspberry");
print_r($queue);
?>
以上例程会输出：
Array
(
[0] => apple
[1] => raspberry
[2] => orange
[3] => banana
)

Anonymous' associative version wasn't working for me, but it did with this small tweak:
function array_unshift_assoc(&$arr, $key, $val)
{
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
$arr[$key] = $val;
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
return $arr;
}
Sahn's example almost works but has a small error. Try it like this if you need to prepend something to the array without the keys being reindexed and/or need to prepend a key value pair, you can use this short function:
<?php
function array_unshift_assoc(&$arr, $key, $val)
{
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
$arr[$key] = $val;
return = array_reverse($arr, true);
}
?>
You can preserve keys and unshift an array with numerical indexes in a really simple way if you'll do the following:
<?php
$someArray=array(224=>'someword1', 228=>'someword2', 102=>'someword3', 544=>'someword3',95=>'someword4');
$someArray=array(100=>'Test Element 1 ',255=>'Test Element 2')+$someArray;
?>
now the array looks as follows:
array(
100=>'Test Element 1 ',
255=>'Test Element 2'
224=>'someword1',
228=>'someword2',
102=>'someword3',
544=>'someword3',
95=>'someword4'
);
This becomes a nice little problem if you index your arrays out of order (while manually sorting). For example:
<?php
$recordMonths[3] = '8/%/2006';
$recordMonths[4] = '7/%/2004';
$recordMonths[0] = '3/%/2007';
$recordMonths[1] = '2/%/2007';
$recordMonths[5] = '12/%/2000';
$recordMonths[6] = '11/%/2000';
$recordMonths[7] = '10/%/2000';
$recordMonths[2] = '1/%/2007';
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
array_unshift($recordMonths,'%');
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
?>
Produces:
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: %
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
It reindexes them based on the order they were created. It seems like if an array has all numeric indexes, then it should reindex them based on the order of their index. Just my opinion...
I had a need tonight to convert a numeric array from 1-based to 0-based, and found that the following worked just fine due to the "side effect" of renumbering:
<?php
array_unshift( $myArray, array_shift( $myArray ));
?>
even simpler unshifting of a reference !
<?php
/**
* @return int
* @param $array array
* @param $value mixed
* @desc Prepend a reference to an element to the beginning of an array. Renumbers numeric keys, so $value is always inserted to $array[0]
*/
function array_unshift_ref(&$array, &$value)
{
$return = array_unshift($array,'');
$array[0] =& $value;
return $return;
}
?>
Last version of PHP deprecated unshifting of a reference.
You can use this function instead :
<?php
function array_unshift1 (& $ioArray, $iValueWrappedInAnArray) {
$lNewArray = false;
foreach (array_keys ($ioArray) as $lKey)
$lNewArray[$lKey+1] = & $ioArray[$lKey];
$ioArray = array (& $iValueWrappedInAnArray[0]);
if ($lNewArray)
foreach (array_keys ($lNewArray) as $lKey)
$ioArray[] = & $lNewArray[$lKey];
return count($ioArray);
}
// before last PHP (now generates a deprecation warning)
array_unshift ($a, &$v);
// since last PHP (caution, there is a wrapping array !!)
array_unshift1 ($a, array (&$v));
?>
If you need to change the name of a key without changing its position in the array this function may be useful.
<?php
function array_key_change($Old, $New, $In, $NewVal=NULL) {
$Temp = array();
while(isset($Temp[$Old]) == false) {
list($k, $v) = each($In);
$Temp[$k] = $v;
unset($In[$k]);
}
if($NewVal == NULL) {
$NewVal = $Temp[$Old];
}
unset($Temp[$Old]);
$Temp = array_reverse($Temp);
$In = array_merge(array($New=>$NewVal), $In);
while(list($k,$v) = each($Temp)) {
$In = array_merge(array($k=>$v), $In);
}
return($In);
}
?>
array_merge() will also reindex (see array_merge() manual entry), but the '+' operator won't, so...
<?php
$arrayone=array("newkey"=>"newvalue") + $arrayone;
?>
does the job.
Actually this problem with the keys getting reindexed only happens when the keys are numerical:
<?php
$a = array("f"=>"five", "s" =>"six", "t" =>
"twenty");
print_r($a);
echo "\n";
foreach($a as $key=>$val)
{
echo "k: $key v: $val \n";
}
array_unshift($a, "zero");
print_r($a);
echo "\n";
foreach($a as $key=>$val)
{
echo "k: $key v: $val \n";
}
?>
Array
(
[f] => five
[s] => six
[t] => twenty
)
k: f v: five
k: s v: six
k: t v: twenty
Array
(
[0] => zero
[f] => five
[s] => six
[t] => twenty
)
k: 0 v: zero
k: f v: five
k: s v: six
k: t v: twenty
If you need to prepend something to the array without the keys being reindexed and/or need to prepend a key value pair, you can use this short function:

{
