      )

and I want to add an

Answer 1

You are using an associative array so you just set the key/value pair like this.

$array["Password"] = pass;

I think you may need to review the difference between an array and an associative array. For example if I ran the same command again with a different value it would overwrite the old one:

$array["Password"] = "overwritten";

Giving you this

Array ( [Username] => user 
        [Email] => email
        [Password] => "overwritten"
      )

Which judging by your question is not what your expecting

Answer 2

Try out array_merge instead:

$array = array('Username' => 'user', 'Email' => 'email'); 
$array = array_merge($array, array('Password' => 'pass'));

This produces the array:

array('Username' => 'user', 'Email' => 'email', 'Password' => 'pass');

Answer 3

Associative arrays aren't designed to have their keys in order. You can add an element via

$array['Password'] = 'pass';

Answer 4

Generally, with an associative array you don't have control over the order of the elements.

The elements can be in any order.

However I've found php keeps the order that you add them.

So just do $myarra["name"] = "password"
