How to push data into an array which has already been pushed into another array?

Is there a way where I can insert $dialstack inside of $menustack after putting menustack inside of $mainstack?

The outcome that I want is possible by moving array_push($mainstack, $menustack); to the last line, but I am really looking for a way where I can just insert an array to an existing stack of arrays.

$mainstack = ['applet' => "Flow"];

$menustack = ['applet' => "Menu", 'repeat' => "2"];

$dialstack = [];

$dial1 = ['applet' => "Dial", 'number' => "165465468", 'whisper' => "Yes"];
$dial2 = ['applet' => "Dial", 'number' => "654984", 'whisper' => "No"];
$dial3 = ['applet' => "Dial", 'number' => "398965165", 'whisper' => "Yes"];

array_push($mainstack, $menustack);
array_push($dialstack, $dial1);
array_push($dialstack, $dial2);
array_push($dialstack, $dial3);
array_push($menustack, $dialstack);
Solution

  • You just need to know the index of $menustack inside of $mainstack

    $arrayOne = [];
$arrayTwo = [];
$arrayThree = [];

// $arrayOne goes inside of $arrayTwo
array_push($arrayTwo, $arrayOne);

// $arrayThree goes inside of $arrayTwo[0] which is $arrayOne
array_push($arrayTwo[0], $arrayThree);

var_dump($arrayTwo);
