Removing an element from an array (PHP)
I want to remove an element from a PHP array (and shrink the array size). Just looking at the PHP docs, it seems this can be done using array_slice() and array_merge()
so I am guessing (off the top of my head) that some combination of array_merge() and array_slice will work. However, array_slice() requires an index (not a key), so I'm not sure how to quickly cobble these functions together for a solution.
Has anyone implemented such a function before?. I'm sure it must be only a few lines long, but I cant somehow get my h开发者_运维技巧ead around it (its been one of those days) ...
Actually, I just came up with this cheesy hack when writing up this question....
function remove_from_array(array $in, value) {
return array_diff($in, (array)$value);
}
too ugly? or will it work (without any shocking side effects)?
This functionality already exists; take a look at unset
.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php
$a = array('foo' => 'bar', 'bar' => 'gork');
unset($a['bar']);
print_r($a);
output will be:
array( [foo] => bar )
There's the array_filter
function that uses a callback function to select only wanted values from the array.
you want an unset by value. loop through the array and unset the key by value.
unset($my_array['element']);
Won't work?
This code can be replaced by single array_filter($arr) call
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if($value == "" || $value == " " || is_null($value)) {
unset($array[$key]);
}
}
/*
and if you want to create a new array with the keys reordered accordingly...
*/
$new_array = array_values($array);
