How do I add to the end of an array and know how large the array is?


If you want to add an element to an array you can always just use:
$arrayname[] = "$value";

However, if you want to know how many entries are in the array once you've done so, then you can get at that value simply by using the array_push function, like so:


<?php

$values 
= array("I","Like","Sentences","That","Don't");
$newelement array_push($values,"Finish");
echo 
"There are now $newelement elements in the array:\n";
print_r($values);
?>


This prints out the following to the screen:


There are now 6 elements in the array:
Array
(
[0] => I
[1] => Like
[2] => Sentences
[3] => That
[4] => Don't
[5] => Finish
)
