note 18645 added to ref.array

It seems like there's no function to remove an item from an array. However it's not that hard to write your own. Here's a function that will solve the problem. function array_remove_item($array,$item_to_remove) { $newarray = array(); foreach ($array as $key => $val) { if (!stristr($val,$item_to_remove)) { $newarray = array($key => $val) + $newarray; } } return $newarray; } I've only tested it like this: $array = array("1","2","3","4","5"); echo nl2br("Before:\n"); foreach ($array as $key => $value) { echo nl2br("$key => $value\n"); } reset($array); $array = array_remove_item($array,"3"); echo nl2br("After:\n"); reset($array); foreach ($array as $key => $value) { echo nl2br("$key => $value\n"); } The output of the above code will be something like this: Before: 0 => 1 1 => 2 2 => 3 3 => 4 4 => 5 After: 4 => 5 3 => 4 1 => 2 0 => 1 It's obvious, that the array is in reverse order, but it can be fixed by running it through array_reverse() or by changing the order of this line: $newarray = array($key => $val) + $newarray; -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+18645 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+18645 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+18645
