array modifiers

[Prozac]

Let's say I have an array:

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"apple","orange","bananna"}; 


and you want to add "pear" to the array.
What would it involve to get the array to look like:

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"apple","orange","bananna","pear"}; 


or

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"pear","apple","orange","bananna"}; 


or

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"apple","orange","pear","bananna"}; 


?

and what is involved in removing an item from an array of strings and having the array self-compress so there are no emty spaces, such as:
before

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"apple","orange","bananna"}; 


and after

PHP Code:

this.fuit={"apple","bananna"}; 


?

PHP Code:

varname.add("str");
varname.remove("str");
varname.insert(index, "str");
varname.delete(index);

Ajira's right, but that doesn't work for multidimensional arrays (yet?)

Yes it does, array[index].add() etc.

Well, I was having problems with it. This is what I meant about the problem of using the standard object stuff on a specific dimension of an array:

That's just visual... the value has changed.

I've never had problems using array[index].add() and such.

Edit: Ah, didn't see Rick's post, but he is right

But visually it can be very important.

...why? Do you normally show raw array contents to people?
