[SOLVED] removing one key=>value element from array:

[smilesmita]

removing one key=>value element from array:

 

hi there:

 

I have an array of this sort:

 

array(

 

[#document]=> <?xml version ="1.0"?>

[finemae]=>2344ddd

[subscriptionstatus]=>unread

[trackingnumber]=>45566

 

}

 

I wanted to get rid of the first Key=>value element which is #document=> <?....?>

 

because my insert statement then gets stuck at this point because of this unwanted element:

 

insert into table (#document,filename,subscriptionstatus,trackingnumber) value ('"<?...?>','..',...);

The array_shift() function will pop the first element off.

how is the array causing problems with an sql insert ?  ???

The number sign may be the issue. If you just wanted to remove the number sign, you can use ltrim():

ltrim($string, "#");
