在数组开头添加元素的提示:

$a = array('first', 'second');
$a[-1] = 'i am the new first element';

然后:

foreach($a as $aelem)
    echo $a . ' ';
//returns first, second, i am...

but:

for ($i = -1; $i < count($a)-1; $i++)
     echo $a . ' ';
//returns i am as 1st element

如果你想保留初始数组的键，并添加一个有键的数组，那么使用下面的函数:

function insertArrayAtPosition( $array, $insert, $position ) {
    /*
    $array : The initial array i want to modify
    $insert : the new array i want to add, eg array('key' => 'value') or array('value')
    $position : the position where the new array will be inserted into. Please mind that arrays start at 0
    */
    return array_slice($array, 0, $position, TRUE) + $insert + array_slice($array, $position, NULL, TRUE);
}

电话的例子:

$array = insertArrayAtPosition($array, array('key' => 'Value'), 3);

这也是一个有效的解决方案:

function array_insert(&$array,$element,$position=null) {
  if (count($array) == 0) {
    $array[] = $element;
  }
  elseif (is_numeric($position) && $position < 0) {
    if((count($array)+position) < 0) {
      $array = array_insert($array,$element,0);
    }
    else {
      $array[count($array)+$position] = $element;
    }
  }
  elseif (is_numeric($position) && isset($array[$position])) {
    $part1 = array_slice($array,0,$position,true);
    $part2 = array_slice($array,$position,null,true);
    $array = array_merge($part1,array($position=>$element),$part2);
    foreach($array as $key=>$item) {
      if (is_null($item)) {
        unset($array[$key]);
      }
    }
  }
  elseif (is_null($position)) {
    $array[] = $element;
  }  
  elseif (!isset($array[$position])) {
    $array[$position] = $element;
  }
  $array = array_merge($array);
  return $array;
}

$result_array = array();
$array = array("Tim","John","Mark");
$new_element = "Bill";
$position = 1; 

for ($i=0; $i<count($array); $i++)
    {
      if ($i==$position)
       {
          $result_array[] = $new_element;
       }
       $result_array[] = $array[$i];
    }

print_r($result_array); 

// Result will Array([0] => "Tim",[1] => "Bill", [2] => "John",[1] => "Mark")

没有本地PHP函数(据我所知)可以完全完成您的请求。

我已经写了2个我认为适合目的的方法:

function insertBefore($input, $index, $element) {
    if (!array_key_exists($index, $input)) {
        throw new Exception("Index not found");
    }
    $tmpArray = array();
    $originalIndex = 0;
    foreach ($input as $key => $value) {
        if ($key === $index) {
            $tmpArray[] = $element;
            break;
        }
        $tmpArray[$key] = $value;
        $originalIndex++;
    }
    array_splice($input, 0, $originalIndex, $tmpArray);
    return $input;
}

function insertAfter($input, $index, $element) {
    if (!array_key_exists($index, $input)) {
        throw new Exception("Index not found");
    }
    $tmpArray = array();
    $originalIndex = 0;
    foreach ($input as $key => $value) {
        $tmpArray[$key] = $value;
        $originalIndex++;
        if ($key === $index) {
            $tmpArray[] = $element;
            break;
        }
    }
    array_splice($input, 0, $originalIndex, $tmpArray);
    return $input;
}

虽然速度更快，而且可能更节省内存，但这只适用于不需要维护数组键的地方。

如果你确实需要维护密钥，下面的方法会更合适;

function insertBefore($input, $index, $newKey, $element) {
    if (!array_key_exists($index, $input)) {
        throw new Exception("Index not found");
    }
    $tmpArray = array();
    foreach ($input as $key => $value) {
        if ($key === $index) {
            $tmpArray[$newKey] = $element;
        }
        $tmpArray[$key] = $value;
    }
    return $input;
}

function insertAfter($input, $index, $newKey, $element) {
    if (!array_key_exists($index, $input)) {
        throw new Exception("Index not found");
    }
    $tmpArray = array();
    foreach ($input as $key => $value) {
        $tmpArray[$key] = $value;
        if ($key === $index) {
            $tmpArray[$newKey] = $element;
        }
    }
    return $tmpArray;
}

基于@Halil的伟大回答，这里是一个简单的函数如何在特定的键后插入新元素， 同时保留整型键:

private function arrayInsertAfterKey($array, $afterKey, $key, $value){
    $pos   = array_search($afterKey, array_keys($array));

    return array_merge(
        array_slice($array, 0, $pos, $preserve_keys = true),
        array($key=>$value),
        array_slice($array, $pos, $preserve_keys = true)
    );
}
