I know a lot of people want a function to remove a key by value from an array. I saw solutions that iterate(!) though the whole array comparing value by value and then unsetting that value's key. PHP has a built-in function for pretty much everything (heard it will even cook you breakfast), so if you think "wouldn't it be cool if PHP had a function to do that...", odds are it already has. Check out this example. It takes a value, gets all keys for that value if it has duplicates, unsets them all, and returns a reindexed array. $arr = array(11,12,13,12); // sample array $arr = array_flip($arr); unset($arr[12]); $arr = array(array_keys($arr)); $arr contains: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 11 [1] => 13 ) ) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-flip.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+34749 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+34749&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+34749&report=yes
