How to remove specific element from an array PHP
I have an array:
$array = (apple, orange, strawberry, blueberry, kiwi);
the user enters
strawberry
strawberry
is removed.
Use
array_search
to get the key and remove it with unset
if found:if (($key = array_search('strawberry', $array)) !== false) {
unset($array[$key]);
}
array_search
returns false (null until PHP 4.2.0) if no item has been found.
And if there can be multiple items with the same value, you can use
array_keys
to get the keys to all items:foreach (array_keys($array, 'strawberry') as $key) {
unset($array[$key]);
}
