PHP referencing to last inserted element in array

Question

Is there a way in php to find out exactly where my element was inserted into an array i.e. at which postion it was inserted into the array. For like the following code I need to insert an element at any position of the array then insert a sub element at the second diimenson of that array

$myarray=array();
$myarray[]=$someelementdefinedbefore;
$myarray[][2]=$second element related to some element defined before;

i.e. i need the two elements mentioned above to be clubbed together so i can later access them both via a single array search

Any idea how I could make this work. I mean I know I could use array search for this but I wanted to know if there was more efficient solution available?

$myarray=array(); $myarray[]=$someelementdefinedbefore; $myarray[][2]=$second element of same array; why you making it a two dimesional array?? — rohitarora

$myarray=array();
$myarray[]=$someelementdefinedbefore; // This will be the last element as it is appended.

$myArrayLastElement = count($myarray)-1; // get the key of the last element.
// append your second element to this array.
$myarray[$myArrayLastElement][2]=$second element

You don't want to add the second one as two dimensional array.

$myarray=array();
$myarray[]=$someelementdefinedbefore;
$myarray[]=$second element of same array;

here $myarray[0] will give you first value of the array, and $myarray[1] will give you second value of the array
