Find value in array, then add value after that key

Hi there,

i'm having a little problem on a script here :
I have to
- find a value recursively inside an array (done)
- then add data right after the value i just found in the array (this is why i need help)

I could use array_push, but that would put data at the end of the array, i want it be put right after the data, shifting down all following values indexes

any leads ?

Cheers,

Terence

Please see if this is what you want:

<?php

$myArray = array(0 => 'A',
				 1 => 'B',
				 2 => 'C',
				 3 => 'D',
				 4 => 'F',
				 5 => 'G',
			);
			
print_r($myArray);

$pos = 4;
$length = count($myArray);

$before = array_slice($myArray, 0, $pos);
$after = array_slice($myArray, $pos, $length-$pos);

$insert = array(0 => 'E');

$myArray = array_merge($before, $insert, $after);

print_r($myArray);

?>

Why not append the key and then sort the array?

$myArray[] = 'E';
sort($myArray);

Alternatively see code

$myArray[] = 'E';
sort($myArray);

Alternatively

$newArray = array();
$insertElement = 'E';
foreach($myArray as $v)
{
    if (stricmp($v, $insertElement) > 0)) $newArray[] = $insertElement;
    $newArray[] = $v;
}
