No one built-in function, but you could use array_slice and array_merge:

$p = array( 'name' => 'John', 'age' => 42 );
$insertat = 1;

if ( $insertat <= 0 )
{
$a = array_merge( array( $p ), $a );
}
elseif ( $insertat >= count( $a ) )
{
$a[] = $p;
}
else
{
$a0 = array_slice( $a, 0, $insertat );
$a1 = array_slice( $a, $insertat );
$a = array_merge( $a0, array( $p ), $a1 );
}
