array_push using multidimensional array in ZEND Framework

Question

I have a hierarchy like parent->child1->child2... and so on

And the main thing in this, developing of an array is only one's while insert/editing (I am working on zend).

Now, I want prevent updating my parent_id while in edit case of child .

I have used this, but its not working well

$data = array('fieldname'=>$request['name'],
              'fieldname2'=>$request['xyz']
);

if(!isset(update)){    
  array_push($data,'parent_id'=>$request['parent_id']);
}

Answer 1

You can't use array_push() in this context.

Just do this

if(!isset(update)){    
  $data['parent_id']=$request['parent_id'];
}
