You can preserve keys and unshift an array with numerical indexes in a really simple way if you'll do the following:
<?php
$someArray=array(224=>'someword1', 228=>'someword2', 102=>'someword3', 544=>'someword3',95=>'someword4');
$someArray=array(100=>'Test Element 1 ',255=>'Test Element 2')+$someArray;
?>
now the array looks as follows:
array(
100=>'Test Element 1 ',
255=>'Test Element 2'
224=>'someword1',
228=>'someword2',
102=>'someword3',
544=>'someword3',
95=>'someword4'
);
array_unshift
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
array_unshift — 배열의 맨 앞에 하나 이상의 원소를 첨가
설명
array_unshift()는 전달된 원소들을
array의 앞에 첨가한다. 원소 목록이 모두 첨가되면,
첨가된 원소들은 같은 순서로 남아있게 된다는 것에 유의한다. 모든
숫자 배열 키들은 리터럴 키들이 건드러지지 않는 동안에는 제로부터
카운트를 시작할수 있도록 변경될것이다.
인수
-
array -
입력 배열.
-
var -
앞에 붙일 변수.
반환값
array안의 새로운 원소의 수를 반환한다.
예제
Example #1 array_unshift() 예제
<?php
$queue = array("orange", "banana");
array_unshift($queue, "apple", "raspberry");
print_r($queue);
?>
위 예제의 출력:
Array
(
[0] => apple
[1] => raspberry
[2] => orange
[3] => banana
)
참고
- array_shift() - 배열의 맨 앞에 있는 원소를 시프트
- array_push() - 배열의 끝에 하나 이상의 원소를 넣는다
- array_pop() - 배열의 마지막 원소 빼내기

array_merge() will also reindex (see array_merge() manual entry), but the '+' operator won't, so...
<?php
$arrayone=array("newkey"=>"newvalue") + $arrayone;
?>
does the job.

Sahn's example almost works but has a small error. Try it like this if you need to prepend something to the array without the keys being reindexed and/or need to prepend a key value pair, you can use this short function:
<?php
function array_unshift_assoc(&$arr, $key, $val)
{
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
$arr[$key] = $val;
return = array_reverse($arr, true);
}
?>

Anonymous' associative version wasn't working for me, but it did with this small tweak:
function array_unshift_assoc(&$arr, $key, $val)
{
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
$arr[$key] = $val;
$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
return $arr;
}

Another way to tack something to the beginning of an array is with array_merge().
$plans = array('AARP'=>'Senior', 'AAA'=>'Automobile Club');
$plans = array_merge(array("BAR"=>"Best Available Rate"), $plans);

even simpler unshifting of a reference !
<?php
/**
* @return int
* @param $array array
* @param $value mixed
* @desc Prepend a reference to an element to the beginning of an array. Renumbers numeric keys, so $value is always inserted to $array[0]
*/
function array_unshift_ref(&$array, &$value)
{
$return = array_unshift($array,'');
$array[0] =& $value;
return $return;
}
?>

Actually this problem with the keys getting reindexed only happens when the keys are numerical:
<?php
$a = array("f"=>"five", "s" =>"six", "t" =>
"twenty");
print_r($a);
echo "\n";
foreach($a as $key=>$val)
{
echo "k: $key v: $val \n";
}
array_unshift($a, "zero");
print_r($a);
echo "\n";
foreach($a as $key=>$val)
{
echo "k: $key v: $val \n";
}
?>
Array
(
[f] => five
[s] => six
[t] => twenty
)
k: f v: five
k: s v: six
k: t v: twenty
Array
(
[0] => zero
[f] => five
[s] => six
[t] => twenty
)
k: 0 v: zero
k: f v: five
k: s v: six
k: t v: twenty

This becomes a nice little problem if you index your arrays out of order (while manually sorting). For example:
<?php
$recordMonths[3] = '8/%/2006';
$recordMonths[4] = '7/%/2004';
$recordMonths[0] = '3/%/2007';
$recordMonths[1] = '2/%/2007';
$recordMonths[5] = '12/%/2000';
$recordMonths[6] = '11/%/2000';
$recordMonths[7] = '10/%/2000';
$recordMonths[2] = '1/%/2007';
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
array_unshift($recordMonths,'%');
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
?>
Produces:
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: %
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
It reindexes them based on the order they were created. It seems like if an array has all numeric indexes, then it should reindex them based on the order of their index. Just my opinion...

If you need to change the name of a key without changing its position in the array this function may be useful.
<?php
function array_key_change($Old, $New, $In, $NewVal=NULL) {
$Temp = array();
while(isset($Temp[$Old]) == false) {
list($k, $v) = each($In);
$Temp[$k] = $v;
unset($In[$k]);
}
if($NewVal == NULL) {
$NewVal = $Temp[$Old];
}
unset($Temp[$Old]);
$Temp = array_reverse($Temp);
$In = array_merge(array($New=>$NewVal), $In);
while(list($k,$v) = each($Temp)) {
$In = array_merge(array($k=>$v), $In);
}
return($In);
}
?>

I had a need tonight to convert a numeric array from 1-based to 0-based, and found that the following worked just fine due to the "side effect" of renumbering:
<?php
array_unshift( $myArray, array_shift( $myArray ));
?>

Last version of PHP deprecated unshifting of a reference.
You can use this function instead :
<?php
function array_unshift1 (& $ioArray, $iValueWrappedInAnArray) {
$lNewArray = false;
foreach (array_keys ($ioArray) as $lKey)
$lNewArray[$lKey+1] = & $ioArray[$lKey];
$ioArray = array (& $iValueWrappedInAnArray[0]);
if ($lNewArray)
foreach (array_keys ($lNewArray) as $lKey)
$ioArray[] = & $lNewArray[$lKey];
return count($ioArray);
}
// before last PHP (now generates a deprecation warning)
array_unshift ($a, &$v);
// since last PHP (caution, there is a wrapping array !!)
array_unshift1 ($a, array (&$v));
?>
