How to insert element into specific array position?

Question

I can't use array_splice since my element is an object. Instead of inserting it as a whole, it inserts it field by field.

P.S.

I was inserting as Leigh said:

array_splice($original, 2, 0, $obj);

Can you elaborate on object? Can you just cast it using (array)? — Martin

@Martin I don't know what is "elaborate". I have a 'Page' class and an array of pages. I just want to take page from one position and put it into the other. Unbelieveable PHP couldn't do it! — Suzan Cioc

If you pass your object directly to array_splice you will get the behaviour you describe.

I think you are doing this:

$original = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
$obj = new Object;

array_splice($original, 2, 0, $obj);

When you should be doing this:

array_splice($original, 2, 0, array($obj));

This way your object will be inserted as a whole, instead of the individual fields being inserted.
