PHP Array Predefined Functions
The PHP Array Functions is basically an inbuilt function in the PHP language that is used in order to create an array.
Please note that the array functions are basically the part of the core PHP. In order to use these functions there is no need of installation.
Here are some of the PHP arrays functions that are present in the PHP language. These arrays functions are depicted below along with a short description for easy understanding:
