# array_push

(PHP 4 )

array_push -- Push one or more elements onto the end of array

## Description

int array_push ( array array, mixed var [, mixed ...])

array_push() treats `array` as a stack, and pushes the passed variables onto the end of `array`. The length of `array` increases by the number of variables pushed. Has the same effect as:

    $array[] = $var;

repeated for each `var`.

Returns the new number of elements in the array.

Example 1. array_push() example
    $stack = array ("orange", "banana");
    array_push ($stack, "apple", "raspberry");
This example would result in `$stack` having the following elements:
    Array
    (
        [0] => orange
        [1] => banana
        [2] => apple
        [3] => raspberry
    )
