Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to PHP and I've been struggling with pushing a variable into a multidimensional array. Basically, I have a variable, let's call it $variable, and I want to add its value to an existing multidimensional array.
Here's an example of the array structure I'm working with:
```php
$array = array(
array(
'name' => 'John',
'age' => 25
),
array(
'name' => 'Jane',
'age' => 30
)
);
```
Now, let's say my $variable holds the following information:
```php
$variable = array(
'name' => 'Tom',
'age' => 35
);
```
What I want to achieve is to push the $variable array into the existing $array, resulting in the following structure:
```php
$array = array(
array(
'name' => 'John',
'age' => 25
),
array(
'name' => 'Jane',
'age' => 30
),
array(
'name' => 'Tom',
'age' => 35
)
);
```
I've been searching for a solution, but I haven't been able to find a clear explanation on how to do this properly. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
Greetings fellow developers,
I encountered a similar challenge in the past and discovered another way to push a variable into a multidimensional array in PHP. Instead of using array_push() or assigning the new element directly, you can leverage the [] notation for a more concise and flexible solution.
Here's how you can apply it to your scenario:
By simply using `$array[] = $variable;`, you append the $variable array as a new element to the $array, achieving the desired multidimensional structure. This approach eliminates the need for invoking a function like array_push().
Give this method a shot and let me know if it resolves your issue. As always, don't hesitate to ask if you need any additional assistance or have further questions.
Happy coding!
