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

SYNOPSIS
       int array_unshift (array  &$array, mixed  $value1, [mixed  $...])

DESCRIPTION
       array_unshift(3)  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. All numerical array keys will be modified to start counting from zero while literal  keys  won't
       be touched.

PARAMETERS
	      o $array
		- The input array.

	      o $value1
		- First value to prepend.

RETURN VALUES
	Returns the new number of elements in the $array.
