Popping an element out of an array

[Anon]

Hey, I have an array that I'm running through and I'd like to remove an element of it, but not the last or first element. Right now I am using unset($array[$key]), but that only sets the value to NULL, I believe. Is there a pop command that can remove the element at location $n in a 1-dimensional array, and of course push all following elements up one value?

So basically, my array could be this:

$a = array("orange","apple","banana","kiwi");
for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($a);$i++) {
if ($a[$i] == "banana")
array_remove_function($a[$i]);
}

/ and now my array is this:
[] = "orange","apple","kiwi";
/

Thanks!

maybe try something like this:

// $array = array, $place = item to remove
// returns the array without the item

function array_removeitem($array,$place) {
for ($i=$place;$i<sizeof($array);$i++) {
$array[$place] = $array[$place++];
}
array_pop($array);
return $array;
} // end function array_remove
