Array Prepend¶

Prepend is an array operation, which adds an element at the beginning of the array. It is also called a shift.

There are one function for this feature: array_unshift(). It takes the array, and the value to add, returns a new array.

The opposite operation is a pop, with the function array_shift().

<?php

    $array = [1, 2, 3];

    array_push($array, 6);

    // $array === [1, 2, 3, 6];

?>
