note 26744 modified in function.array-splice by vrana

It is possible to use a string instead of offset, eg if you want to deletre the entry $myArray['entry'] then you can simply do it like this: <?php array_splice($myArray, 'entry', 1); ?> Note that you can use unset($myArray['entry']) as well but then, it doesn't enable you to remove more than one entry and it doesn't replace anything in the array, if that's what you intend to do. --was-- It is possible to use a string instead of offset, eg if you want to deletre the entry $myArray['entry'] then you can simply do it like this: array_splice($myArray, 'entry', 1); Note that you can use unset($myArray['entry']) as well but then, it doesn't enable you to remove more than one entry and it doesn't replace anything in the array, if that's what you intend to do. http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-splice.php
