next()

[doddsey_65]

I have an array with content like so

array{

[0] => username1

[1] => date1

[2] => username2

[3] = date2

}

 

I want to select username2 and delete it so i do this:

 

$key = array_search('username2', $array);
                      
unset($like_list[$key]);

 

That works fine, but i also want to delete the next value after it. Any one know how i would do this? calling next on the array will just return $array[1] as $array[0] is the current key.

 

Thanks

If it's a numeric array, then this will do it for the next numeric key in sequence, which may not always be what you want:

 

unset($like_list[$key++]);

unset($like_list[$key++]);

 

This might do it for both at the same time:

 

array_splice($like_list, $key, 2);

both good options. I solved it with this however:

 

$key = array_search($user_name, $like_list);
                
                $date = $like_list[$key+1];
                
                $date_key = array_search($date, $like_list);
                
                unset($like_list[$date_key]);
                unset($like_list[$key]);

 

thanks for the replies
