How to add a prefix before an array

Question

I have an array in PHP:

$pbx01_connection = array("customer/voip_extensions.php");

how can i add a prefix and suffix to each item in the array?

for example,

$pbx01_connection = '/admin/'.array("customer/voip_extensions.php");

so /admin/ is added before each item in the array?

<?php
function addPrefix($value)
{
    return '/admin/' . $value
}

$new_array = array_map("addPrefix", $array);
print_r($new_array);
?>

Looks like a overhead to do such a simple thing. Why not just `foreach ($array as &$value) $value = '-'.$value;` – Itay Sep 09 '13 at 14:53

Modifying values by reference is a bad practice as it can make following data throughout code more difficult. – John Conde Sep 09 '13 at 14:55
@JohnConde It can still be achieved with a simple loop. – Boaz Sep 09 '13 at 14:56
I don't see this as really overly complicated. Especially since this also allows the separation of logic and provides for easily organized code. – John Conde Sep 09 '13 at 14:57
@JohnConde I agree with you. But it's not related to "modifying values by reference". – Boaz Sep 09 '13 at 15:00
