这是一个老问题，但我在2014年发表了一篇评论，经常回到这个问题。我想我应该留下一个完整的答案。这不是最短的解决方案，但很容易理解。

在关联数组中插入一个新值，在有编号的位置，保留键并保持顺序。

$columns = array(
    'id' => 'ID',
    'name' => 'Name',
    'email' => 'Email',
    'count' => 'Number of posts'
);

$columns = array_merge(
    array_slice( $columns, 0, 3, true ),     // The first 3 items from the old array
    array( 'subscribed' => 'Subscribed' ),   // New value to add after the 3rd item
    array_slice( $columns, 3, null, true )   // Other items after the 3rd
);

print_r( $columns );

/*
Array ( 
    [id] => ID 
    [name] => Name 
    [email] => Email 
    [subscribed] => Subscribed 
    [count] => Number of posts 
)
*/

我已经创建了一个函数(PHP 8.1)，它允许您将项插入到关联数组或数值数组:

function insertItemsToPosition(array $array, string|int $insertAfterPosition, array $itemsToAdd): array
    {
        $insertAfterIndex = array_search($insertAfterPosition, array_keys($array), true);
        if ($insertAfterIndex === false) {
            throw new \UnexpectedValueException(sprintf('You try to insert items to an array after the key "%s", but this key is not existing in given array. Available keys are: %s', $insertAfterPosition, implode(', ', array_keys($array))));
        }

        $itemsBefore = array_slice($array, 0, $insertAfterIndex + 1);
        $itemsAfter = array_slice($array, $insertAfterIndex + 1);

        return $itemsBefore + $itemsToAdd + $itemsAfter;
    }

这是一种更好的方法，如何在数组的某个位置插入项目。

function arrayInsert($array, $item, $position)
{
    $begin = array_slice($array, 0, $position);
    array_push($begin, $item);
    $end = array_slice($array, $position);
    $resultArray = array_merge($begin, $end);
    return $resultArray;
}

该函数支持:

数字键和关联键 在建立键之前或之后插入 如果key未建立，则附加到数组末尾

function insert_into_array( $array, $search_key, $insert_key, $insert_value, $insert_after_founded_key = true, $append_if_not_found = false ) {

        $new_array = array();

        foreach( $array as $key => $value ){

            // INSERT BEFORE THE CURRENT KEY? 
            // ONLY IF CURRENT KEY IS THE KEY WE ARE SEARCHING FOR, AND WE WANT TO INSERT BEFORE THAT FOUNDED KEY
            if( $key === $search_key && ! $insert_after_founded_key )
                $new_array[ $insert_key ] = $insert_value;

            // COPY THE CURRENT KEY/VALUE FROM OLD ARRAY TO A NEW ARRAY
            $new_array[ $key ] = $value;

            // INSERT AFTER THE CURRENT KEY? 
            // ONLY IF CURRENT KEY IS THE KEY WE ARE SEARCHING FOR, AND WE WANT TO INSERT AFTER THAT FOUNDED KEY
            if( $key === $search_key && $insert_after_founded_key )
                $new_array[ $insert_key ] = $insert_value;

        }

        // APPEND IF KEY ISNT FOUNDED
        if( $append_if_not_found && count( $array ) == count( $new_array ) )
            $new_array[ $insert_key ] = $insert_value;

        return $new_array;

    }

用法:

    $array1 = array(
        0 => 'zero',
        1 => 'one',
        2 => 'two',
        3 => 'three',
        4 => 'four'
    );

    $array2 = array(
        'zero'  => '# 0',
        'one'   => '# 1',
        'two'   => '# 2',
        'three' => '# 3',
        'four'  => '# 4'
    );

    $array3 = array(
        0 => 'zero',
        1 => 'one',
       64 => '64',
        3 => 'three',
        4 => 'four'
    );


    // INSERT AFTER WITH NUMERIC KEYS
    print_r( insert_into_array( $array1, 3, 'three+', 'three+ value') );

    // INSERT AFTER WITH ASSOC KEYS
    print_r( insert_into_array( $array2, 'three', 'three+', 'three+ value') );

    // INSERT BEFORE
    print_r( insert_into_array( $array3, 64, 'before-64', 'before-64 value', false) );

    // APPEND IF SEARCH KEY ISNT FOUNDED
    print_r( insert_into_array( $array3, 'undefined assoc key', 'new key', 'new value', true, true) );

结果:

Array
(
    [0] => zero
    [1] => one
    [2] => two
    [3] => three
    [three+] => three+ value
    [4] => four
)
Array
(
    [zero] => # 0
    [one] => # 1
    [two] => # 2
    [three] => # 3
    [three+] => three+ value
    [four] => # 4
)
Array
(
    [0] => zero
    [1] => one
    [before-64] => before-64 value
    [64] => 64
    [3] => three
    [4] => four
)
Array
(
    [0] => zero
    [1] => one
    [64] => 64
    [3] => three
    [4] => four
    [new key] => new value
)

这是PHP 7.1中的另一个解决方案

     /**
     * @param array $input    Input array to add items to
     * @param array $items    Items to insert (as an array)
     * @param int   $position Position to inject items from (starts from 0)
     *
     * @return array
     */
    function arrayInject( array $input, array $items, int $position ): array 
    {
        if (0 >= $position) {
            return array_merge($items, $input);
        }
        if ($position >= count($input)) {
            return array_merge($input, $items);
        }

        return array_merge(
            array_slice($input, 0, $position, true),
            $items,
            array_slice($input, $position, null, true)
        );
    }

代码:

function insertValueAtPosition($arr, $insertedArray, $position) {
    $i = 0;
    $new_array=[];
    foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
        if ($i == $position) {
            foreach ($insertedArray as $ikey => $ivalue) {
                $new_array[$ikey] = $ivalue;
            }
        }
        $new_array[$key] = $value;
        $i++;
    }
    return $new_array;
}

例子:

$array        = ["A"=8, "K"=>3];
$insert_array = ["D"= 9];

insertValueAtPosition($array, $insert_array, $position=2);
// result ====> ["A"=>8,  "D"=>9,  "K"=>3];

也许看起来不完美，但很有效。
