function removeAt($array, $search){
$keys = array();//keys to remove
foreach($array as $key=>$a){
	if (strpos($array, $search)!== false){
                        //if we find the search term in the value, we set it for removal
		$keys[] = $key;
	}
}

foreach($keys as $k){
	array_splice($array, $key);//remove the elements from the array
}
}//end removeAt

//usage:
$array = array(... some stuff ...);

$array = removeAt($array, "review");

 

here you go. Please note that this uses a simple string match. If you want more comprehensive matching, you may want to use a regular expression match rather than the str_pos !== false method
