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;
    }

我这样做

    $slightly_damaged = array_merge(
        array_slice($slightly_damaged, 0, 4, true) + ["4" => "0.0"], 
        array_slice($slightly_damaged, 4, count($slightly_damaged) - 4, true)
    );

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;
}

Array_slice()可以用来提取数组的部分，联合数组操作符(+)可以重新组合这些部分。

$res = array_slice($array, 0, 3, true) +
    array("my_key" => "my_value") +
    array_slice($array, 3, count($array)-3, true);

这个例子:

$array = array(
  'zero'  => '0',
  'one'   => '1',
  'two'   => '2',
  'three' => '3',
);
$res = array_slice($array, 0, 3, true) +
    array("my_key" => "my_value") +
    array_slice($array, 3, count($array) - 1, true) ;
print_r($res);

给:

Array
(
    [zero] => 0
    [one] => 1
    [two] => 2
    [my_key] => my_value
    [three] => 3
)

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)); 

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

)

    [0] => zero

    [4] => four
)
