"Manu" => "25" ) ;
print "Count is " . count($employeeAges) ;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
Count is 3
Insert into an Array (array_unshift())
Example 1:
<html>
<head>
<title>Insert into an array</title>
</head>

</body>
</html>
Output:
Array ( [0] => Horse [1] => Cow [a] => Cat [b] => Dog )
Append elements to an array [array_push]
Example 1:
<html>
<head>
<title>Append elements to the array</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$numbers = Array(10,20,30);
print "Before appending..<br>" ;
print_r($numbers);
array_push($numbers,40,50);
print "<br>After appending.. <br>" ;
print_r($numbers) ;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output
Before appending..
Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 )
After appending..
Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 [3] => 40 [4] => 50 )
Delete elements from an Array [array_pop]
Example:
<html>
<head>

<title>Append elements to the array</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$numbers = Array(10,20,30,40);
print "Before poping..<br>" ;
print_r($numbers);
$element = array_pop($numbers);
print "<br>Element popped : " . $element ;
print "<br>After poping..<br>" ;
print_r($numbers) ;
?>
</body>
</html>

</head>
<body>
<?php
$numbers = Array(30,10,20,40);
print "Before sorting..<br>" ;
print_r($numbers);
print "<br>After Sorting..<br>" ;
sort($numbers);
print_r($numbers) ;
8
?>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Before sorting..
Array ( [0] => 30 [1] => 10 [2] => 20 [3] => 40 )
After Sorting..
Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 20 [2] => 30 [3] => 40 )
Sort an array in reverse order
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sort ordinary array</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$numbers = Array(30,10,20,40);
print "Before sorting..<br>" ;
print_r($numbers);
print "<br>After Sorting..<br>" ;
rsort($numbers);
print_r($numbers) ;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Before sorting..
Array ( [0] => 30 [1] => 10 [2] => 20 [3] => 40 )
After Sorting..
Array ( [0] => 40 [1] => 30 [2] => 20 [3] => 10 )
9
Sorting an associative array
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sort associative array</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$fruits = Array("o"=>Orange,"a"=>"Apple","g"=>"Grapes");
print "Before sorting..<br>" ;
print_r($fruits);
print "<br>After Sorting..<br>" ;
asort($fruits);
print_r($fruits) ;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Before sorting..
Array ( [o] => Orange [a] => Apple [g] => Grapes )
After Sorting..
Array ( [a] => Apple [g] => Grapes [o] => Orange )
Reverse sort an associative array
Example:
<html>
<head>
<title>Sort associative array</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$fruits = Array("o"=>Orange,"a"=>"Apple","g"=>"Grapes");
print "Before sorting..<br>" ;
print_r($fruits);
10
print "<br>After Sorting..<br>" ;
arsort($fruits);
print_r($fruits) ;
?>
</body>
</html>
Output:
Before sorting..
Array ( [o] => Orange [a] => Apple [g] => Grapes )
After Sorting..
Array ( [o] => Orange [g] => Grapes [a] => Apple )
