array question: can you delete an entry based on it's string value?

[php beginner]

Hello,

 

Let's say you had an array with these values:

 

basketball[0] = 'green';

basketball[1] = 'red';

basketball[2] = 'red';

basketball[3] = 'red';

basketball[4] = 'blue';

basketball[5] = 'black';

 

Is there a function that can perform a search on the array to remove all of the entries that have a value of 'red'?

 

Maybe something like:

 

remove_array_values(basketball[], 'red');

 

Then the array would end up like this:

basketball[0] = 'green';

basketball[1] = 'blue';

basketball[2] = 'black';

 

So it took out all of the array entries that had 'red' as it's string contents.

 

I'm wondering if there is a way to do that.

Take a look at array_keys. You can use that to get the keys for the elements that contain the value you're looking for, then removing them is easy.
