How to add elements to the beginning of an array in PHP

Use the PHP array_unshift() function

You can use the PHP array_unshift() function to insert one or more elements or values to the beginning of an array.

Let’s check out an example to see how it works:


<?php
$skills = array("HTML5", "CSS3", "JavaScript");
 
// Prepend array with new items
array_unshift($skills, "Illustrator", "Photoshop");

echo "<pre>";
print_r($skills);
?>

<?php

$skills = array("HTML5", "CSS3", "JavaScript");

// Prepend array with new items

array_unshift($skills, "Illustrator", "Photoshop");

echo "<pre>";

print_r($skills);

Output:


Array
(
    [0] => Illustrator
    [1] => Photoshop
    [2] => HTML5
    [3] => CSS3
    [4] => JavaScript
)
