Re: Re: Delete element from an array (PHP3)

Richard, Unfortunately unset() isn't working for this on two different versions of PHP3 that I've tried. It seems the element is empty, but the reference is still there. Something seems to have changed in PHP4 when passing a multi-dimensioned array to a function and calling unset() on an element... >unset() should work... > >There were (beta?) versions where it would leave behind some detrius, but >IIRC, you were safe if you used list/each... > >> In PHP4, unset($myarray['3']['someindex'}) removes this element >> (inside >a class function passed $myarray).
