array_unshift(array &$array, mixed ...$values): int

array_unshift() adiciona os elementos passados como argumentos no início de array. Note que a lista de elementos é adicionada como um todo, de forma que eles ficam na mesma ordem. Todas as chaves numéricas serão modificadas para começar a contar de zero enquanto chaves literais permanecerão inalteradas.

Nota:

Redefine o ponteiro interno do array para o primeiro elemento.

Parâmetros

array

O array de entrada.

values

Os valores a serem adicionados.

Valor Retornado

Retorna o novo número de elementos em array.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
7.3.0 Essa função agora pode ser chamada com apenas um parâmetro. Anteriomente, pelo menos dois parâmetros eram necessários.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de array_unshift()

<?php
$cesta
= [
"laranja",
"banana"
];

array_unshift($cesta, "melancia", "morango");
var_dump($cesta);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

array(4) {
  [0] =>
  string(8) "melancia"
  [1] =>
  string(7) "morango"
  [2] =>
  string(7) "laranja"
  [3] =>
  string(6) "banana"
}

Exemplo #2 Uso de arrays associativos

Se um array associativo é pre anexado a outro array associativo, o array anexado é numeralmente indexado no array anterior.

<?php
$frutas
= [
'maca' => [
'McIntosh' => 'vermelho',
'Granny Smith' => 'verde',
],
'laranja' => [
'Navel' => 'laranja',
'Valencia' => 'laranja',
],
];
$vegetais = [
'alface' => [
'Iceberg' => 'verde',
'Butterhead' => 'verde',
],
'cenoura' => [
'Deep Purple Hybrid' => 'roxo',
'Imperator' => 'laranja',
],
'pepino' => [
'Kirby' => 'verde',
'Gherkin' => 'verde',
],
];

array_unshift($frutas, $vegetais);
var_dump($frutas);

O exemplo acima produzirá:

array(3) {
  [0] =>
  array(3) {
    'alface' =>
    array(2) {
      'Iceberg' =>
      string(5) "verde"
      'Butterhead' =>
      string(5) "verde"
    }
    'cenoura' =>
    array(2) {
      'Deep Purple Hybrid' =>
      string(4) "roxo"
      'Imperator' =>
      string(7) "laranja"
    }
    'pepino' =>
    array(2) {
      'Kirby' =>
      string(5) "verde"
      'Gherkin' =>
      string(5) "verde"
    }
  }
  'maca' =>
  array(2) {
    'McIntosh' =>
    string(8) "vermelho"
    'Granny Smith' =>
    string(5) "verde"
  }
  'laranja' =>
  array(2) {
    'Navel' =>
    string(7) "laranja"
    'Valencia' =>
    string(7) "laranja"
  }
}

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_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;
}

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...

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 function helps if you want to prepend a key and value pair to the beginning of an array:

function array_kunshift(array $array, string|int $key, mixed $value): array {
return array_merge([$key => $value], $array);
}

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);

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 ));
?>
