A simple example for array_pad()
the syntax is as follows: array_pad(array(), (+/-)int, value)
where "array" is the array to which the value is to be added,
"(+/-) int" is a value that decides the length of the array(it should be greater than the length of the array.
if its a negative number then the value will be added at the left of the array else it will be added to the right.
"values" denotes the value to be added to the array
lets try an example:
<?php
$digits = array();
$digits[0] = 1;
$digits[1] = 2;
$digits[2] = 3;
$arraypad = array_pad($digits, -4, "0");
print_r($arraypad);
?>
output:
Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 [2] => 2 [3] => 3 )

array_pad — 指定長、指定した値で配列を埋める
説明
array_pad() は、pad_size で指定した長さになるように値 pad_value で埋めて input のコピーを返します。 pad_size が正の場合、配列の右側が埋められます。 負の場合、配列の左側が埋められます。 pad_size の絶対値が input の長さ以下の場合、埋める処理は行われません。 一度に追加できる要素の最大数は 1048576 です。
パラメータ
- input
-
値を埋めるもととなる配列。
- pad_size
-
新しい配列のサイズ。
- pad_value
-
input が pad_size より小さいときに、 埋めるために使用する値。
返り値
pad_size で指定した長さになるように値 pad_value で埋めて input のコピーを返します。 pad_size が正の場合、配列の右側が埋められます。 負の場合、配列の左側が埋められます。 pad_size の絶対値が input の長さ以下の場合、埋める処理は行われません。
例
例1 array_pad() の例
<?php
$input = array(12, 10, 9);
$result = array_pad($input, 5, 0);
// 結果は、array(12, 10, 9, 0, 0) です。
$result = array_pad($input, -7, -1);
// 結果は、array(-1, -1, -1, -1, 12, 10, 9) です。
$result = array_pad($input, 2, "noop");
// 埋める処理は行われません。
?>

Easy way to get an array contains 5 random numbers from 0 to 9:
$rand_arr = array_rand( array_pad( array(), 10, 1 ), 5 );

One way to initialize a 20x20 multidimensional array.
<?php
$a = array();
$b = array();
$b = array_pad($b,20,0);
$a = array_pad($a,20,$b);
?>

little older, a little wiser.
ksort() will order the array back into its normal order again
so:
<?php
$myArr = array(2 => 'two', 4 => 'four');
$newArr = array_pad(array(), 6, 'FILLED');
$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;
ksort($newArr);
?>
Will give :
Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => FILLED [4] => four [5] => FILLED )

To daarius - you mean you have...
[2]=>"two"
[3]=>"three"
and you want...
[0]=>"FILLED"
[1]=>"FILLED"
[2]=>"two"
[3]=>"three"
[4]=>"FILLED"
[5]=>"FILLED"
If so, then the following code...
<?php
$array = array(2 => "two", 3 => "three");
$array = array_pad($array, count($array)+2, "FILLED");
$num = -(count($array)+2);
$array = array_pad($array, $num, "FILLED");
print_r($array);
?>
will return:
Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => three [4] => FILLED [5] => FILLED )
The ordering should be okay,...

OR you could do this
<?php
$myArr = array(2 => 'three', 3 => 'four');
$newArr = array_pad(array(), 4, 'FILLED');
$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;
?>
This gives your desired result BUT the ordering is a little wierd, because of the order they were added. Indexes are okay though and that is what you wanted.
print_r($newArr) outputs
Array ( [2] => three [3] => four [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED )
hope this helps

yes that is true. But, if the index of the array is 2=two, 3=three
and i want 4 more keys to be filled. But, not just filled anywhere, but i want to maintain the key index.
so, i would like to have 0=FILLED, 1=FILLED ... 4=FILLED, 5=FILLED
now i got 4 more keys padded with my string.
We can do this "if" we know the missing keys, but if we dont, then it would be nice for array_pad() or perhaps some new function to do this?
obviously we can achive this by looping through the array using array_key_exists(), and if you dont find the key, simply create + fill it.
regards,
Daarius...

to the previous commenter -- if you read the manual entry, you'd see that a negative pad_size will put the pad values at the front of the array.

This is useful when using next() and prev() function in a while loop to traverse an array.
For example the following code will only output up to 8.
<?php
$test[] = "1";
$test[] = "2";
$test[] = "3";
$test[] = "4";
$test[] = "5";
$test[] = "6";
$test[] = "7";
$test[] = "8";
$test[] = "9";
$test[] = "10";
$test[] = " ";
$test[] = " ";
$test[] = " ";
$count = count($test);
while($i < $count) {
$now = current($test);
echo "<p>$now</p>";
next($test);
next($test);
next($test);
prev($test);
prev($test);
prev($test);
$i++;
next($test);
}
?>
But if you use:
$test = array_pad($test, 13, " ");
you will get all of your output.
