How can I add a variable to an array? Let say I have variable named $new_values :
$new_values=",543,432,888"
And now I would like to add $new_values to function. I tried in that way:
phpfunction1(array(114,763 .$new_values. ), $test);
but I got an error Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ')'
How my code should look if I would like to have array(114,763,543,432,888) ?
$new_values=",543,432,888";
ReplyDeleteshould be converted to an array:
$new_values= explode(',', "543,432,888");
and merged to existing values with:
array_merge(array(114,763), $new_values);
Whole code should looks like:
$new_values = explode(',', "543,432,888");
$values = array(114,763);
$values = array_merge($values, $new_values);
phpfunction1($values, $test);
If you pass to explode a string that is starting with , you will get first empty element, so avoid it.
if you have an array already i.e.
ReplyDelete$values = array(543,432,888);
You can add to them by : $values[]=114; $values[]=763;
Apologies if I missed the point there...
In your example, $new_values is a string, but, since it's comma delimited, you can create an array directly from it. Use $new_array = explode(',', $new_values); to create an array from the string.
ReplyDeleteYou need to convert the string into an array using the explode function and then use the array_merge function to merge the two arrays into one:
ReplyDelete$new_values=",543,432,888";
$currentArray=array(114,763);
$newArray=array_merge($currentArray,explode(',',$new_values));
functionX($newArray...)
But watch out for the empty array element because of the first comma.
For that use "trim($new_values, ',')" - see answer from rajesh.
you can do like this.
ReplyDelete$old_values = array(122,555);
$new_values=",543,432,888";
$values = explode(',', trim($new_values, ','));
$result = array_merge($old_values, $values);
print_r($result);
try array merge
ReplyDeletelooks like this
phpfunction1(array_merge(array(114,763) ,$new_values), $test);
and yes your first array is not an array
change it to this
$new_values=Array(543,432,888);
