It was amazing that this thread has close to 90 mails. I've added some use cases of array_udelete() to wiki, since some people fails to see how it could be useful. I also bring back to array_walk() version of equivalent example. I just don't see any reason why we should replace it with slower foreach() version. I think the RFC page is almost complete. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/array_delete Any more comments? -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohgaki@ohgaki.net
