                        )

                )

        )
)

Now I want to add a new key-value pair named [count] => '$some_value' in this array in every element after the key-value pair [test_pack_purchase_date](say after [test_pack_purchase_date] => 255. How should I do this? Can anyone help me in this regard? Thanks in advance.

If you are creating new array then try this :

$arr = ['key' => 'value'];

And if array is already created then try this :

$arr['key'] = 'value';
