[SOLVED] delete from array

[simon551]

let's say I have an array $letters(a,b,c,d,e,f)

 

is there a function that will remove 'd' from the middle. I'm looking for something like array_delete($letters,'d');

 

Thanks in advance.

<?php

$alphabet = Array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f');

foreach($alphabet as $k => $v)
{
  if($v == 'd')
  {
    unset($alphabet[$k]);
  }
}

?>

try

<?php
function array_delete(&$arr, $value) {
$keys = array_keys($arr, $value);
foreach ($keys as $key) unset ($arr[$key]);
}
$letters = array (a,b,c,d,e,f);
array_delete($letters, 'd');
print_r($letters);
?>

An alternative way, although I doubt if it's better lol:

 

<?php

$arr = array('a','b','c','d');
$search = 'd';

$bad = array_keys($arr, $search);
for($i=0; $i<count($bad); unset($arr[$bad[$i++]]));

?>

 

 

Orio.

I know you've said "solved" on this, but here's one more way ...

 

<?php
$t = array('a1','v','2','x5','z6','v'=>'7');
$nt = array_delete('z6',$t);
echo '<pre> ' . print_r($t,true) . '</pre>';
echo '<pre> ' . print_r($nt,true) . '</pre>';

function array_delete($x, $ary) {
  if (!is_array($x)) $x = array($x);
  return(array_diff($ary,$x));
}
?>
