I know this is an old answer but it might be helpful for others to know that another difference between the two is that if you have to add more than 2 3 values per loop to an array it s faster to use        for  i   0   i  lt  10   i               array push  arr   i   i 2   i 3   i 4                instead of        for  i   0   i  lt  10   i               arr      i            arr      i 2            arr      i 3            arr      i 4                        edit- Forgot to close the bracket for the for conditional

When you call a function in PHP  such as array push     there are overheads to the call  as PHP has to look up the function reference  find its position in memory and execute whatever code it defines   Using  arr      some value   does not require a function call  and implements the addition straight into the data structure  Thus  when adding a lot of data it is a lot quicker and resource-efficient to use  arr
