#40101 [NEW]: Please add an array_remove function

From: wgilk at reliablesites dot com Operating system: ALL PHP version: 6CVS-2007-01-11 (CVS) PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Please add an array_remove function Description: ------------ It would be very nice to have an array_remove (or some other name) function to do what the code below illustrates. The point of the function is to allow use to retrieve the value of a particular key in an array, and remove it from the array at the same time. Think of it as array_shift(), but with the ability to define the key that gets shifted. Reproduce code: --------------- function array_remove ($key, &$array) { if (! isset ($array[$key])) return false; $return = $array[$key]; unset ($array[$key]); return $return; } $array = array ('food' => 'taco', 'drink' => 'juice'); $value = array_remove ('food', $array); print_r ($array); print $value; Expected result: ---------------- FROM print_r: ---- array ( 'drink' => 'juice ) ---- FROM print: ---- taco ---- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40101&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40101&r=mysqlcfg
