[SOLVED] Wow, no function

[jaymc]

I want to delete an element from an array. There does not appear to be a function for it

 

array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

 

Delete number 6

 

array(1,2,3,4,5,7,8,9)

 

It can be done using unset() but for that you need the keyname and in my case where the keyname is not hardcoded, not very feasable

 

The other way is to use foreach and check every element in that till it hits a match, then use unset but again not feasable as some arrays have 100's of elements, so not keen on that method

 

Any other ideas?

use array_search.

[p2grace]

$key = array_keys($array,$search_string);

 

http://us.php.net/function.array-keys

 

It will search for the array key that has a the search string.
