Beware, if you try to pad an associative array using numeric keys, your keys will be re-numbered.
<?php
$a = array('size'=>'large', 'number'=>20, 'color'=>'red');
print_r($a);
print_r(array_pad($a, 5, 'foo'));
// use timestamps as keys
$b = array(1229600459=>'large', 1229604787=>20, 1229609459=>'red');
print_r($b);
print_r(array_pad($b, 5, 'foo'));
?>
yields this:
------------------
Array
(
[size] => large
[number] => 20
[color] => red
)
Array
(
[size] => large
[number] => 20
[color] => red
[0] => foo
[1] => foo
)
Array
(
[1229600459] => large
[1229604787] => 20
[1229609459] => red
)
Array

array_pad
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
array_pad — Rellena un array a la longitud especificada con un valor
Descripción
array_pad() devuelve una copia de
array rellenada al tamaño especificado por
size con el valor
value. Si
size es positivo, el array se
rellena hacia la derecha, si es negativo hacia la izquierda. Si el
valor absoluto de size es menor o
igual a la longitud de array, no se lleva
a cabo el relleno.
Es posible añadir como máximo 1048576 elementos de una sola vez.
Parámetros
-
array -
Array inicial de valores a rellenar.
-
size -
Nuevo tamaño del array.
-
value -
Valor a rellenar si
arrayes menor quesize.
Valores devueltos
Devuelve una copia de array rellenada al espacio especificado
por size con el valor
value. Si size es
positivo el array es relleno hacia la derecha, si es negativo
hacia la izquierda. Si el valor absoluto de size es
menor o igual que la longitud de array, no se lleva a cabo
el relleno.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de array_pad()
<?php
$input = array(12, 10, 9);
$result = array_pad($input, 5, 0);
// el resultado es array(12, 10, 9, 0, 0)
$result = array_pad($input, -7, -1);
// el resultado es array(-1, -1, -1, -1, 12, 10, 9)
$result = array_pad($input, 2, "noop");
// sin relleno

To daarius - you mean you have...
[2]=>"two"
[3]=>"three"
and you want...
[0]=>"FILLED"
[1]=>"FILLED"
[2]=>"two"
[3]=>"three"
[4]=>"FILLED"
[5]=>"FILLED"
If so, then the following code...
<?php
$array = array(2 => "two", 3 => "three");
$array = array_pad($array, count($array)+2, "FILLED");
$num = -(count($array)+2);
$array = array_pad($array, $num, "FILLED");
print_r($array);
?>
will return:
Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => three [4] => FILLED [5] => FILLED )
The ordering should be okay,...

to the previous commenter -- if you read the manual entry, you'd see that a negative pad_size will put the pad values at the front of the array.

little older, a little wiser.
ksort() will order the array back into its normal order again
so:
<?php
$myArr = array(2 => 'two', 4 => 'four');
$newArr = array_pad(array(), 6, 'FILLED');
$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;
ksort($newArr);
?>
Will give :
Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => FILLED [4] => four [5] => FILLED )

One way to initialize a 20x20 multidimensional array.
<?php
$a = array();
$b = array();
$b = array_pad($b,20,0);
$a = array_pad($a,20,$b);
?>

A simple example for array_pad()
the syntax is as follows: array_pad(array(), (+/-)int, value)
where "array" is the array to which the value is to be added,
"(+/-) int" is a value that decides the length of the array(it should be greater than the length of the array.
if its a negative number then the value will be added at the left of the array else it will be added to the right.
"values" denotes the value to be added to the array
lets try an example:
<?php
$digits = array();
$digits[0] = 1;
$digits[1] = 2;
$digits[2] = 3;
$arraypad = array_pad($digits, -4, "0");
print_r($arraypad);
?>
output:
Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 [2] => 2 [3] => 3 )

yes that is true. But, if the index of the array is 2=two, 3=three
and i want 4 more keys to be filled. But, not just filled anywhere, but i want to maintain the key index.
so, i would like to have 0=FILLED, 1=FILLED ... 4=FILLED, 5=FILLED
now i got 4 more keys padded with my string.
We can do this "if" we know the missing keys, but if we dont, then it would be nice for array_pad() or perhaps some new function to do this?
obviously we can achive this by looping through the array using array_key_exists(), and if you dont find the key, simply create + fill it.
regards,
Daarius...

OR you could do this
<?php
$myArr = array(2 => 'three', 3 => 'four');
$newArr = array_pad(array(), 4, 'FILLED');
$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;
?>
This gives your desired result BUT the ordering is a little wierd, because of the order they were added. Indexes are okay though and that is what you wanted.
print_r($newArr) outputs
Array ( [2] => three [3] => four [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED )
hope this helps

Easy way to get an array contains 5 random numbers from 0 to 9:
$rand_arr = array_rand( array_pad( array(), 10, 1 ), 5 );

// insert element to array
function array_insert(&$arr, $pos, $new_el=null) {

}
$digits = array();
$digits[0] = 0;
$digits[1] = 1;
$digits[2] = 2;
$digits[3] = 3;
$digits[4] = 4;
$digits[5] = 5;
echo "was: "; var_dump($digits);
array_insert($digits, 3, 100);
echo "new: "; var_dump($digits);

Just an info about the value of "$pad_size" ,
If we set the value of "$pad_size" from -3 to 3,
It will produce the output like:
<?php
$result = array_pad($input, -3, "noop");
//result is array(12, 10, 9)
$result = array_pad($input, 3, "noop");
//result is array(12, 10, 9)
?>
means array will remain the same.
