unset a key of an array

[Zan]

ok I have an array, and i want to unset a key within it.

$arr = array('apples', 'oranges', 'rotten apples', 'pears');

ok say i want to get rid of my rotten apples and i do this.

unset($arr[2]);

it also unsets value above this array key (ie... gets rid of my beautiful pears :mad: :mad: )

so, does anybody know a simple way to 'pop' off a value within the middle of an array? considering that i might have rotten oranges, not just rotten apples......

I dont want to set the key to NULL because this doesnt archieve the result that I want (im spitting out the results to a menu box, then possibly copying them to somewhere on the file system, so to avoid a whole lot of empty() checks later i would prefer to unset the var)

thanks

sorry....

must be something strange going on with my multi-dim array, beucase the example i provided above seems to work correctly....

😕 😕 😕

to my understanding you want to remove elements from the array and later simply loop through them to display, and you want to do this without checking to see if an index is empty. if the index is irrelevant , i would just reshuffle the array by doing

$arr = array_values($arr);

Hope this helps
