在数组开头添加元素的提示:

$a = array('first', 'second');
$a[-1] = 'i am the new first element';

然后:

foreach($a as $aelem)
    echo $a . ' ';
//returns first, second, i am...

but:

for ($i = -1; $i < count($a)-1; $i++)
     echo $a . ' ';
//returns i am as 1st element

基于@Halil的伟大回答，这里是一个简单的函数如何在特定的键后插入新元素， 同时保留整型键:

private function arrayInsertAfterKey($array, $afterKey, $key, $value){
    $pos   = array_search($afterKey, array_keys($array));

    return array_merge(
        array_slice($array, 0, $pos, $preserve_keys = true),
        array($key=>$value),
        array_slice($array, $pos, $preserve_keys = true)
    );
} 

要将元素插入到具有字符串键的数组中，您可以这样做:

/* insert an element after given array key
 * $src = array()  array to work with
 * $ins = array() to insert in key=>array format
 * $pos = key that $ins will be inserted after
 */ 
function array_insert_string_keys($src,$ins,$pos) {

    $counter=1;
    foreach($src as $key=>$s){
        if($key==$pos){
            break;
        }
        $counter++;
    } 

    $array_head = array_slice($src,0,$counter);
    $array_tail = array_slice($src,$counter);

    $src = array_merge($array_head, $ins);
    $src = array_merge($src, $array_tail);

    return($src); 
} 

$result_array = array();
$array = array("Tim","John","Mark");
$new_element = "Bill";
$position = 1; 

for ($i=0; $i<count($array); $i++)
    {
      if ($i==$position)
       {
          $result_array[] = $new_element;
       }
       $result_array[] = $array[$i];
    }

print_r($result_array); 

// Result will Array([0] => "Tim",[1] => "Bill", [2] => "John",[1] => "Mark")

这个由Brad Erickson编写的函数用于关联数组:

/* * Inserts a new key/value after the key in the array. * * @param $key * The key to insert after. * @param $array * An array to insert in to. * @param $new_key * The key to insert. * @param $new_value * An value to insert. * * @return * The new array if the key exists, FALSE otherwise. * * @see array_insert_before() */ function array_insert_after($key, array &$array, $new_key, $new_value) { if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) { $new = array(); foreach ($array as $k => $value) { $new[$k] = $value; if ($k === $key) { $new[$new_key] = $new_value; } } return $new; } return FALSE; }

函数来源-这篇博文。还有一个方便的功能，以插入之前特定的关键。

这可以通过array_splice完成，但是，当插入数组或使用字符串键时，array_splice会失败。我写了一个函数来处理所有情况:

function array_insert(&$arr, $index, $val)
{
    if (is_string($index))
        $index = array_search($index, array_keys($arr));
    if (is_array($val))
        array_splice($arr, $index, 0, [$index => $val]);
    else
        array_splice($arr, $index, 0, $val);
}
