RE: [PHP] removing an element from an array

Angelo, Given array1 extract array2 from there, and put it into $array_result. $array2[0]="Value to extract"; $array_result = array_diff ($array1, $array2); Should work.

Is there no function to do this? It seems like alot of overhead to do this process, especially if the array is big. comments?
