array_diff

[mystic]

I have an array ($Original_Array) and I want to remove a specific peice from it..

Can anyone tell my why doesn't this work?
If I am doing it wrong, can you suggest a proper way and give example?

$Original_Array = array("10:S MW/20:DHTS/10:D HCS/60:HH DC/13:test");
$remove = array("/10:D HCS");
$New_Array = array_diff($Original_Array, $remove);
print_r($New_Array);

Thanx,
Mystic

Hi,

try following:

$Original_Array = array("10:S MW", "/20:DHTS", "/10:D HCS", "/60:HH DC", "/13:test");
$remove = array("/10:D HCS");
$New_Array = array_diff($Original_Array, $remove);
print_r($New_Array);

hrrmm.. I'm not sure how to do that..
Guess I should have mentioned i before but $Original_Array is retreived from a single feild in a MySQL table..

I tried to do this to it:

$Part1=explode("/",$Original_Array);
$Part2=implode("/",$Part1);
$Part3 = array($Part2);

$remove = "/20:DHTS";
$remove2 = array($remove);

$New_Array = array_diff($Part3, $remove2);

print_r($New_Array);

but it didn't work..
(I had to do Part1,2, and 3 cuz I kept getting BAD ARGUMENT errors for both array_diff and implode and explode saying they were not an array so I did array($variable) on it

Maybe one other thing I should mention..
the $remove is passed via a link from another page..
sometimes it will have spaces in it..as well as the other funky chars like / and :

I am not sure if that matters, but it looks like this..

page.php?remove=/20😃%20HTS in the URL

then I retreive it like this..

$remove = get_param("remove");

Thanx for your help wizkid!
