How To Add An Element To An Array in PHP

To add a element to an array in PHP, you can use the array_push() function or the square bracket notation [].

Here’s an example using array_push():

$myArray = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange');
$newElement = 'pear';
array_push($myArray, $newElement);
print_r($myArray);

This would output:

Array
(
    [0] => apple
    [1] => banana
    [2] => orange
    [3] => pear
)

Alternatively, you can use square bracket notation:

$myArray = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange');
$newElement = 'pear';
$myArray[] = $newElement;
print_r($myArray);

This would also output:

Array
(
    [0] => apple
    [1] => banana
    [2] => orange
    [3] => pear
)

Both approaches achieve the same result, so you can choose the one that you find more readable or convenient.
