Adding new key value pair to existing array didn't work in php

Question

I have an associative array in which i want to add a new key-value pair to the existing . Here is my code

foreach($result['apiAvailableBuses'] as $value){
     if(strpos($value['fare'], ",")!== false){ 
       $fare=substr($value['fare'], 0, strpos($value['fare'], ","))." +";
     }
  else{ 
     $fare=$value['fare']."/-";
  }
   //add new key
   $result['apiAvailableBuses'][]['actualFare']=$fare;


}

But the print_r($result['apiAvailableBuses']['actualFare']) gives undefined error.

Could you show us your full code? Is that [] intentional or did you miss it out in your print_r. — Script47

print_r($result['apiAvailableBuses']['actualFare']) show undefined because it's undefined, your defining $result['apiAvailableBuses'][0]['actualFare'] — Daan

Your code is not clear: you want an array with all values (as per foreachsuggests) or one only value (as per $result['apiAvailableBuses']['actualFare'] suggests)?

If you want an array with all the values, write in this way:

foreach( $result['apiAvailableBuses'] as $key => $value )
{
    if( strpos( $value['fare'], "," ) !== false )
    { 
        $fare = substr( $value['fare'], 0, strpos( $value['fare'], "," ) )." +";
    }
    else
    { 
        $fare = $value['fare'] . "/-";
    }
    // add new key
    $result['apiAvailableBuses'][$key]['actualFare'] = $fare;
}

In this way you will add $fare to same key of current $result element. Otherwise, you will append a new $result element.
