Re: removing an array from a compound array

Duh! I should have known that. I actually tried that and had a problem so I thought unset() would not work on an array. Guess that problem was elsewhere. Thanks for the responses... -Andres Ford, Mike wrote:

I currently search thru all of these arrays, and based on some criteria, I want to delete one of the arrays (along with all of its sub-arrays) in the middle. What is the easiest way to delete such an "embedded" array?

If you know all the keys leading to the subarray you want to remove (which you probably do if you've just searched your way to it), then a simple unset() should work, similar to:

    Unset($array[$key1][$key2][$key3]);
