[SOLVED] Remove 1 element from an array

[xiao]

If I have this array:

$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple");

I want to remove banana, and apple should be $stack[1] instead of $stack[2]

When I use unset, I have unexisting keys in my array, giving errors outputting them.

 

Is there maybe a way to reset all keys in an array?

Or otherwise a way to split it up into 2 arrays ("orange" and "apple") and merging them (with reset keys)?

Use array_splice(). It will cut out items from your array and 'reset' the numeric keys

edit: got it. Thanks

if bannana is the second element in the array it would work like this

<?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple");
// Note: we don't need to keep the result, '$banana'
$banana = array_splice($stack, 1, 1);
print_r($stack);
?>

Array indices start at 0 rather then 1. So the number '1' refers to the second element in the array. For the 'length' argument, we use '1' to tell the function that we only want to remove 1 element.
