put into array?

[android6011]

I have an empty array to start with ($array=array() and I have an if statement that checks if a string is in the array using array_key_exists. Now if it doesnt exist in the array I want to insert it into the array. how do I do that? I only know how to define an array not insert into an array during a loop.

$array[$key] = $value;

If you want to know if the key exists

 

if (isset($array[$key])) echo "exists";

 

For the value

 

if (in_array($val, $array)) echo "exists";
