Delete item from array?

[Anon]

Hello,
I tried that but it isn't deleting the file. Here are some more specifics:

I want to enter a username in a form and assign the value to $username. Then I want to delete that username from .htpasswd.

What do I need to do differently?

#!/usr/bin/php

<?

$file = "/home/public_html/custom/php/.htpasswd";
$text = file($file);
$user_to_remove = "$username";
while (list ($key, $value) = each($text))
{
if($value != $user_to_remove)
{
$new_list .= $value;
}
}

$fp = fopen($file, "w");
fwrite($fp, $new_list);

echo "success!";
?>

Thanks,

Tim

I don't think the format of .htpasswd allows you to just say $value != $user_to_remove. There is probably extra data on each line that signifies each user's password. To get around this use something like preg_match() or ereg() to check the beginning of the line for the username you want to remove.
