试试这个===

$key_pos=0;
$a1=array("a"=>"red", "b"=>"green", "c"=>"blue", "d"=>"yellow");
$arrkey=array_keys($a1);
array_walk($arrkey,function($val,$key) use(&$key_pos) {
  if($val=='b')
    {
        $key_pos=$key;
    }
  });
$a2=array("e"=>"purple");
$newArray = array_slice($a1, 0, $key_pos, true) + $a2 +
        array_slice($a1, $key_pos, NULL, true);
print_r($newArray);

输出

Array (
      [a] => red
      [e] => purple
      [b] => green
      [c] => blue
      [d] => yellow )

不像Artefacto的答案那么具体，但基于他使用array_slice()的建议，我写了下一个函数:

function arrayInsert($target, $byKey, $byOffset, $valuesToInsert, $afterKey) {
    if (isset($byKey)) {
        if (is_numeric($byKey)) $byKey = (int)floor($byKey);
        $offset = 0;

        foreach ($target as $key => $value) {
            if ($key === $byKey) break;
            $offset++;
        }

        if ($afterKey) $offset++;
    } else {
        $offset = $byOffset;
    }

    $targetLength = count($target);
    $targetA = array_slice($target, 0, $offset, true);
    $targetB = array_slice($target, $offset, $targetLength, true);
    return array_merge($targetA, $valuesToInsert, $targetB);
}

特点:

插入一个或múltiple值 插入键值对 在键前/键后插入，或按偏移量插入

使用例子:

$target = [
    'banana' => 12,
    'potatoe' => 6,
    'watermelon' => 8,
    'apple' => 7,
    2 => 21,
    'pear' => 6
];

// Values must be nested in an array
$insertValues = [
    'orange' => 0,
    'lemon' => 3,
    3
];

// By key
// Third parameter is not applicable
//     Insert after 2 (before 'pear')
var_dump(arrayInsert($target, 2, null, $valuesToInsert, true));
//     Insert before 'watermelon'
var_dump(arrayInsert($target, 'watermelon', null, $valuesToInsert, false)); 

// By offset
// Second and last parameter are not applicable
//     Insert in position 2 (zero based i.e. before 'watermelon')
var_dump(arrayInsert($target, null, 2, $valuesToInsert, null)); 

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;
}

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 
)
*/

如果你不知道你想在位置3插入它，但你知道你想在后面插入它的键，在看到这个问题后，我想出了这个小函数。

/**
     * Inserts any number of scalars or arrays at the point
     * in the haystack immediately after the search key ($needle) was found,
     * or at the end if the needle is not found or not supplied.
     * Modifies $haystack in place.
     * @param array &$haystack the associative array to search. This will be modified by the function
     * @param string $needle the key to search for
     * @param mixed $stuff one or more arrays or scalars to be inserted into $haystack
     * @return int the index at which $needle was found
     */                         
    function array_insert_after(&$haystack, $needle = '', $stuff){
        if (! is_array($haystack) ) return $haystack;

        $new_array = array();
        for ($i = 2; $i < func_num_args(); ++$i){
            $arg = func_get_arg($i);
            if (is_array($arg)) $new_array = array_merge($new_array, $arg);
            else $new_array[] = $arg;
        }

        $i = 0;
        foreach($haystack as $key => $value){
            ++$i;
            if ($key == $needle) break;
        }

        $haystack = array_merge(array_slice($haystack, 0, $i, true), $new_array, array_slice($haystack, $i, null, true));

        return $i;
    }

这里是一个代码板小提琴看到它的行动:http://codepad.org/5WlKFKfz

注意:array_splice()会比array_merge(array_slice())更有效，但这样你插入的数组的键就会丢失。叹息。

如果你只是想在数组的某个位置插入一个项(基于@clausvdb的答案):

function array_insert($arr, $insert, $position) {
    $i = 0;
    $ret = array();
    foreach ($arr as $key => $value) {
            if ($i == $position) {
                $ret[] = $insert;
            }
            $ret[] = $value;
            $i++;
    }
    return $ret;
}
