嗨,我想请一些帮助。

// categories for dropdown
$this->data['dropdown_items'] = $this->category_model->get_key_value('id', 'category_name');

我的代码行返回一个数组作为key =>值对数组。因此,如果我在屏幕上转储$ this-> data [' dropdown_items'],我会得到:

array(8) {
  [1] => "cinemas"
  [5] => "theaters"
  [7] => "night life"
  [6] => "restaurants"
  [4] => "food"
  [2] => "night clubs"
  [3] => "opera"
  [8] => "misc"
}
i.e [id] => "the category name"

我想要做的是在这个数组的第一项之前添加/添加一个新项目 所以我试着用array_unshift()函数添加它:

$this->data['dropdown_items'] = array_unshift($this->data['dropdown_items'], "Please select a category");

这就是我想要的:

array(8) {
      [0] => "Please select a category"
      [1] => "cinemas"
      [5] => "theaters"
      [7] => "night life"
      [6] => "restaurants"
      [4] => "food"
      [2] => "night clubs"
      [3] => "opera"
      [8] => "misc"
    }

但是当我转储$ this->数据[' dropdown_items']时,我得到以下内容

int(9)

任何想法有什么不对?

替换此

$this->data['dropdown_items'] = array_unshift($this->data['dropdown_items'], "Please select a category");

array_unshift($this->data['dropdown_items'], "Please select a category");

array_unshit返回数组中元素的数量,这就是您获得数组计数的原因

答案 1 :(得分:1)

array_unshift在第一个参数中接收引用数组:

array_unshift($this->data['dropdown_items'], "Please select a category");

如果将返回值赋给数组,它将被替换为数组中的元素数(int)。
