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

I just wan't to add : int array_push(...) return the new number of elements in the array (php doc). which can be useful and more compact than $myArray[] = ...; $total = count($myArray);.

Also array_push(...) is meaningful when variable is used as stack.
