splice end off of array

[Anon]

trying to remove bits from an array and splice works fine until i reach the end of the array and try to splice that.

what happens then is the the data gets removed, but the array does not reduce by 1 (the number of items i'm deleting), but stays on.

the next data into the array gets put into a new array element, and increases by one.

why is it that splice works fine in the middle and beg of array, but loses the plot at the end? i've tried loads of different ways to remove the end element, but to no avail

not much hair left now...

cheers

well, unless you are really set on using array_splice why not just use unset()?

unset($array['a']);

that deletes the key and value of 'a'.
