Sencha Touch: Expense Tracker app development tutorial

I started developing Expense Tracker App using Sencha Touch 2.3 and build the app using Phonegap/Cordova. I thought that i need to keep track my daily expenses in my mobile phone and also i need to know how much i am spending based on categories (Tea/Coffee, Drinks, Film etc). These informations will be helpful for me to plan my future financial savings.

I almost completed the app development and installed it in my Phone (iPhone and Android). I faced lot of issues and obstaclus while developing this app. I like to share my app development experience to all my readers and also willing to explain the implementation with the help of source code here as a Post Series.

 * @return array
 */
public function array_insert_before($key, array $array, $new_key, $new_value = null) {
    if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
        $new = array();
        foreach($array as $k = > $value) {
            if ($k === $key) {
                if (is_array($new_key) && count($new_key) > 0) {
                    $new = array_merge($new, $new_key);
                } else {
                    $new[$new_key] = $new_value;
                }
            }
            $new[$k] = $value;
        }
        return $new;
    }
    return false;
