Re: Re: How do I remove an array element from within a recursive function?

I tried that and it still doesn't work. I even tried this hardcore "test": public static final function removeMenuItems(&$menuItems, $removeArray) { foreach($menuItems as &$value) { unset($value); } } -----Original Message----- From: Shawn McKenzie <nospam@mckenzies.net> To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] Re: How do I remove an array element from within a recursive function?
