php- how to push key and value of an array to another array

Question

I save an array that contains some translation in text file. (.txt)

array structure :

$translate = array(
  "Search. Discover. Book Instantly" => "بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن",
  '24/7 Access to top salon' => ' خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته',
  'EASY AND SIMPLE'=> 'راحت و ساده',
);

now I want to add new fields to array but I don't know how to do it, I need something like array_push() for add keys and value both.

Example:

$new_line = array("Hello World" => "سلام دنیا");

// add to main array
$translate = array(
  "Search. Discover. Book Instantly" => "بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن",
  '24/7 Access to top salon' => ' خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته',
  'EASY AND SIMPLE'=> 'راحت و ساده',
  "Hello World" => "سلام دنیا"
);

You can do some this like this ```$translate['Hello World'] = "سلام دنیا";``` — Suresh, Apr 27 '17 at 11:44

since $new_line is an array, you probably want to merge them

array_merge($array1, $array2)

$translate = array(
  "Search. Discover. Book Instantly" => "بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن",
  '24/7 Access to top salon' => ' خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته',
  'EASY AND SIMPLE'=> 'راحت و ساده'
); 

$translate["Hello World"] = "سلام دنیا";

Or if you have a separate array with new values

$new_line = array("Hello World" => "سلام دنیا", "Hello World1" => "سلام دنیا");

$translate = array_merge($translate, $new_line);

This does the same as an array push

$translate[] = [
    'Hello World' => 'سلام دنیا'
];

You should note that this will work on php 7. Earlier version use array() instead of [] – Jurij Jazdanov Apr 27 '17 at 11:49

You have to do it like that

$translate['Hello World'] = "سلام دنیا";

There is no array_push() equivalent for associative arrays because there is no way determine the next key.

No you have to specify key and there value. $translate['key'] = "value"; – Waqas Ahmed Apr 27 '17 at 11:58
that's not true. It will use the key as a number and increment it. Please don't misinform if you are not sure – Jurij Jazdanov Apr 27 '17 at 12:00
you are assuming that $translate[] = 'value' wont work. That's incorrect and it is a equivalent to array_push(), which u said is not. – Jurij Jazdanov Apr 27 '17 at 12:04
I mentioned **$translate['key'] = "value"** @JurijJazdanov – Waqas Ahmed Apr 27 '17 at 12:05

simply add a new entry

<?php

$new = array("Hello World" => "سلام دنیا");

// add to main array
$translate = array(
  "Search. Discover. Book Instantly" => "بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن",
  '24/7 Access to top salon' => ' خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته',
  'EASY AND SIMPLE'=> 'راحت و ساده',
  "Hello World" => "سلام دنیا"
); 

/* single entry * /
$translate['new'] = $new[0];
unset($new[0]);
/**/

//several entries
//array_merge($translate,$new);

//or with iteration
foreach($new as $k => $v){
    //here you could add some conditions on what to add and what not
    $translate[$k]=$v;
    unset($new[$k]);
};

print_r( $translate );

?>

maybe you do not need unset. also have a look at find the key for associative array entries.

With the use of the key() array function it can be done like this.

$translate = array(
  "Search. Discover. Book Instantly" => "بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن",
  '24/7 Access to top salon' => ' خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته',
  'EASY AND SIMPLE'=> 'راحت و ساده',
); 

$new_line = array("Hello World" => "سلام دنیا");

$translate[key($new_line)] = $new_line[key($new_line)];

print_r($translate);

Result

Array
(
    [Search. Discover. Book Instantly] => بگرد مقایسه کن رزرو کن
    [24/7 Access to top salon] =>  خیلی خوب خیلی عالی در 7 روز هفته
    [EASY AND SIMPLE] => راحت و ساده
    [Hello World] => سلام دنیا
)
