Remove values from array

[jwright]

If I have an array of dates and I want to remove 2 specific dates from the array what is the best way to do that. I saw a counple of post about array_del & array_delete but I have the latest version of php and those functions don't exists

Hi,

try folowing:

function delete_element($array, $element) {
$r = array();
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if($value != $element) {
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $r;
}

$dates = array("2002-02-03", "2002-01-01", "2002-01-24");
print_r(delete_element($dates, "2002-02-03"));

keep it simple:

$a=array(1, 2, 4 , 6);
$keys=array_keys($a, 4);
foreach($keys as $val){
unset($a[$val]);
}

array_keys accepts only one seach value
so it should be even more simple:
$a=array(1, 2, 4 , 6);

$key=array_keys($a, 4);
unset($a[$key]);

Thanks guys these both work but the only weird thing is when I do a var_dump the values in the array are correct put when I use a typical for() loop to print the values from the array it does not print the last few values from the array. All values are of string type so I am not sure what is up.

thanks
