Yes, array_splice.

<pre>
<?php
$array = array();

$array[0]['name'] = 'Kevin';
$array[0]['age'] = 23;

$array[1]['name'] = 'Julia';
$array[1]['age'] = 31;

$array[2]['name'] = 'Bob';
$array[2]['age'] = 26;

$array[3]['name'] = 'Drew';
$array[3]['age'] = 37;

$person = array();
$person['name'] = 'Dana';
$person['age'] = 33;

print_r($array);
print_r($person);

array_splice($array, 1, 0, array($person));

print_r($array);
?>
</pre>
