array_splice() does not preserve numeric keys. The function posted by "weikard at gmx dot de" won't do that either because array_merge() does not preserve numeric keys either.
Use following function instead:
<?php
function arrayInsert($array, $position, $insertArray)
{
$ret = [];
if ($position == count($array)) {
$ret = $array + $insertArray;
}
else {
$i = 0;
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if ($position == $i++) {
$ret += $insertArray;
}
$ret[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $ret;
}
?>
Example:
<?php
$a = [
295 => "Hello",
58 => "world",
];
$a = arrayInsert($a, 1, [123 => "little"]);
?>
It preserves numeric keys. Note that the function does not use a reference to the original array but returns a new array (I see absolutely no reason how the performance would be increased by using a reference when modifying an array through PHP script code).
