unserialize array, remove an item, then serialize the new array

[gdfhghjdfghgfhf]

well the title says it all..

 

I have an entry in my database with a serialized array. I'm trying to remove one of the item inside of the array..

 

Here is the working part of my code

 

$a = $row["options"];
$ary = unserialize($a);
     foreach ($ary as $thing) {
$aff = str_replace("12345 test", "", $thing);
echo $aff;
}

 

i managed to unserialize the array to take out the entry i wanted (12345 test), but now i need to make a serialized array with the updated items, and i'm stuck here...

 

could anyone help me to complete my code?

 

thanks a lot

is "12345 test" an array value or an array key?

 

Forget that, just noticed the indented foreach.

 

try

<?php 
$a = $row["options"];
$ary = unserialize($a);

$key = array_search("12345 test", $ary);
unset ($ary[$key]);

$a = serialize($ary);

?>
