What's better to use in PHP, $array[] = $value or array_push($array, $value)?

Question

What\'s better to use in PHP for appending an array member,

$array[] = $value;

or

array_push($array, $value);

Answer 1

The main use of array_push() is that you can push multiple values onto the end of the array.

It says in the documentation:

If you use array_push() to add one element to the array it's better to use $array[] = because in that way there is no overhead of calling a function.
