# array_unshift

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.0)

array_unshift -- Prepend one or more elements to the beginning of array

## Description

``int array_unshift` (array array, mixed var, mixed [...])`

array_unshift() prepends passed elements to the front of the `array`. Note that the list of elements is prepended as a whole, so that the prepended elements stay in the same order.

Returns the new number of elements in the `array`.

Example 1. array_unshift() example
    $queue = array ("p1", "p3");
    array_unshift ($queue, "p4", "p5", "p6");

This would result in `$queue` having 5 elements: "p4", "p5", "p6", "p1", and "p3".
