How to add an array value to the middle of an associative array?

Question

Lets say I have this array:

$array = array(\'a\'=>1,\'z\'=>2,\'d\'=>4);

Later in the script, I want to add the value \'c\'=>3<

Answer 1

Great usage of array functions but how about this as a simpler way:

Add a static column to the SQL and then replace it in the resultant array. Order stays the same:

SQL :

Select pizza , drink , 'pizza-drink' as 'pizza-drink' , 28 columns..... From Table

Array :

$result['pizza-drink'] = $result['pizza'] . $result['drink'];
