Difference between array_push() and $array[] =

Question

In the PHP manual, (array_push) says..

If you use array_push() to add one element to the array it\'s better to use $array[]

Answer 1

You can add more than 1 element in one shot to array using array_push,

e.g. array_push($array_name, $element1, $element2,...)

Where $element1, $element2,... are elements to be added to array.

But if you want to add only one element at one time, then other method (i.e. using $array_name[]) should be preferred.
