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

you can add it by doing

$array['c']=3;

and if you absolutely want it sorted for printing purposes, you can use php's ksort($array) function

if the keys are not sortable by ksort, then you will have to create your own sort by using php's uasort function. see examples here
