Hi!
How come there is no straight-foward obvious way to simply remove a given value from an array? Just look at the number of horrible ways people solve this obvious problem:
I see: if(($key = array_search($del_val, $messages)) !== false) {
     unset($messages[$key]);
} Nothing horrible here.
Btw, deleting all values (not just the first) is also very easy currently: foreach (array_keys($array, $delValue) as $key) {
     unset($array[$key]);
} $array = array_diff($array, [$delValue]);
