Deleting element inside array

[halex]

Hello,

I have array of 30 elements and I want to remove 15th element from my array (with index 14).
So I saw "array_splice()" function and I wan't to check if I do it correctly.

array_splice($my_array,14,1);

Will that remove the element with index 14 (15th element)?

Thanks

Try with unset(array(element));

Why not use unset?

as in unset($array[14]);

I hope this helps

Damn! looks like I was a little slow off the trigger sorry RaS!

Using unset() to remove the element doesn't remove it from the array. It just zeros element 14 out. So if you are wanting to use it in this like this it works great. If you need it like say a linklist works then you need to go alittle father. I use the following though it may not be the best way. I create my own funtion to do it since php doesn't seem to have a function to remove element from the middle of an array. (just front and back).

function purge_array_element($array, $element) {
unset($array[$element]);
$tempArray = array();
foreach($array as $tmp) {
array_push($tempArray, $tmp);
}
return $tempArray;
}

Hope this helps

I have tested and

array_splice($my_array,14,1);

will remove 15th element (with index 14)

No problem with that anymore.

$array=array('a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','j');
print_r($array);
unset($array[4]);
print_r($array);

Looks removed to me.
