[SOLVED] add to array hassle

[arfa]

Adding a value to an array.

Why won't this work?

$notify_list=file($filename);
$notify_list = array_push($notify_list,"$user_em");
foreach($notify_list as $key => $val) { echo "$val<BR>"; }

It prints the number of records.

 

the file() is clearly an array and foreach prints as expected.

I wonder if it is something to do with the \n at the end of each line?

 

I could easily loop and manually build the new array but....

It seems so simple.

array_push returns an int. you can just call it like so and it will work

array_push($notify_list,"$user_em");

 

but since you are just pusing one element into the array, this would be slightly faster

$notify_list[] = $user_em;

since you don't have the overhead of calling a function

And on reading the manual (again) more closely I do indeed see:

 

array_push

"Returns the new number of elements in the array."

 

Thanks

Try this,

 

$notify_list = array();
$notify_list[file($filename)] = $user_em;

foreach($notify_list as $key => $val) { echo "$val<BR>"; }
