<para>
<function>array_push</function> treats <parameter>array</parameter> as a
stack, and pushes the passed variables onto the end of
<parameter>array</parameter>. The length of <parameter>array</parameter>
increases by the number of variables pushed. Has the same effect as:
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
$array[] = $var;
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
repeated for each <parameter>var</parameter>.
</para>
<note>
<simpara>
If you use <function>array_push</function> to add one element to the
array it's better to use <literal>$array[] = </literal> because in that
way there is no overhead of calling a function.
</simpara>
</note>
<note>
<simpara>
<function>array_push</function> will raise a warning if the first
argument is not an array. This differs from the
<literal>$var[]</literal> behaviour where a new array is created.
