[Resolved] Deleting elements from an array without using the index

[vaaaska]

I've found a number of good threads on deleting elements from an array, but they always make use the array index.

What if you don't know the index?

What if you want to delete "something" from an array but you only know "something" and not it's index value?

I could implode the array in a string and then delete the part I need, but it would create a problem since I might need to delete "2" and this would effect "12" and "22", etc.

Unset, at least in my tests, only works with the arrays index value as well.

How might one approach a solution to this?

Thanks...v

Well, this does work, but now I'm worried that I'm possibly really not using array_diff properly...I guess if it works for what I need...

$info = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6");
$info2 = array("2");
$newinfo = array_diff($info, $info2);
print_r($newinfo);

Found this in the manual:

$array = array("one","two");
$deleteitem = "one";

if(in_array($deleteitem, $array))
{ 
   unset($array[array_search($deleteitem, $array)]);
}
