note 55820 added to function.array-keys

I was looking for a function that simply unset a variable amout of values from a one-dimensional array by key. I ended up with this (returns the array itself if no further parameter than the array is given, false with no params - does not change the source array) usage: array_remove(array $input [, mixed key ...]) <?php function array_remove() { if ($stack = func_get_args()) { $input = array_shift($stack); foreach ($stack as $key) { unset($input[$key]); } return $input; } return false; } ?> Test: <?php $a = array('a'=>'fun', 'b'=>3.14, 'sub'=> array('1', '2', '3'), 'd'=>'what', 'e' => 'xample', 5 => 'x'); print_r($a); print_r(array_remove($a, 'd', 'b', 5, 'sub')); ?> Output: Array ( [a] => fun [b] => 3.14 [sub] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) [d] => what [e] => xample [5] => x ) Array ( [a] => fun [e] => xample ) Hope this helps someone. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-keys.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+55820 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+55820&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+55820&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
