Hi all I have this in a simple routine... for($i=0, $if=count($array); $i<$if; ++$i) if( $array[$i] == '' ) { array_splice( $array, $i, 1); --$i; --$if; } My question: is this the better way to do it?<?php foreach( array_keys( $array ) as $key ) {
if( (string)$array[$key] === '' )
{
unset( $array[$key] );
}
}
?>
The above will not remove a value of '0' which IMHO is not empty. If you actually want to get rid of '0' also, then change === to == and remove the (string) cast.
Cheers,
