Just to confirm, USING UNSET CAN DESTROY AN ENTIRE ARRAY. I couldn't find reference to this anywhere so I decided to write this. The difference between using unset and using $myarray=array(); to unset is that obviously the array will just be overwritten and will still exist. <?php $myarray=array("Hello","World"); echo $myarray[0].$myarray[1]; unset($myarray); //$myarray=array(); echo $myarray[0].$myarray[1]; echo $myarray; ?> Output with unset is: <? HelloWorld Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\webpages\dainsider\myarray.php on line 10 Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\webpages\dainsider\myarray.php on line 10 Output with $myarray=array(); is: ?> <? HelloWorld Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in C:\webpages\dainsider\myarray.php on line 10 Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in C:\webpages\dainsider\myarray.php on line 10 Array ?> ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 82.71.67.46 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unset.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73117 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73117 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73117 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
