Overwrite Array

[ywickham]

How do I overwrite an array?

Thanks!

What do you mean?

Just set the contents of the array to a different value...

If you mean ERASE an array and then use it as if it were just created, then use unset($array)...

unset($array) is what I have been using, but it doesn't seem to be working for my array that was index with a string. Instead of allowing me to start at the beginning as if it was a brand new array, I have a bunch of empty elements (those from the first time the array was used), before the new data is displayed.

Any ideas?

Why not just assign a new array to the variable?

i.e.

$arr = array();

Thank you all for your replies. I actually found out that unset() is what I needed to use, I was just using it in the wrong place.
