Array Question

[Rulkster]

I have this array:

$data = array(

"MATH $math" => $math,

"SCIENCE $science" => $science,

"LANGUAGE $language" => $language,

"S.S. $socialstudies" => $socialstudies,

"CITIZENSHP $citizenship" => $citizenship);

Sometimes an element will = 0, in this case I want to remove this element from the array. I tried doing it with this code but it does not seem to work:

if ($math == "0") {
unset($data[1]);
}
if ($science == "0") {
unset($data[2]);
}

etc.......
What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for any help

Your array does not seem to make much sense.
Why do you have the data in element name? Surely what you would want is this
$data = array( "MATH" => $math, 'SCIENCE' => $science, 'LANGUAGE' => $language, 'S.S.' => $socialstudies, 'CITIZENSHIP' => $citizenship);
Then to strip all zero values

<?php
if($math=="0") {
  unset($data['MATH']);
}
?>

The reason for that is that I am displaying the element elsewhere in the script and I want it to display with the name and the value so it would look like this:

MATH 80

foreach ($your_array as $key => $value)
{

print ($key . " " . $value . "<br />");

}

That will accomplish the same thing, printing the key and the value. Putting the data in the key is the WRONG way to do this.

Anyway, loop through the array and unset() values you dont' want in the array.

foreach ($your_array as $key => $value)
{

if (!$value)
{
unset ($your_array[$key]);
}

}
