PHP: Reorder arrays after unset()

Question

There are 2 functions involved.

1. Search array items for a given string
2. unset() array item if string not found

---

$array = a         


        

Answer 1

I think the best solution I've found is :

Solution 1

if you just want to remove just one element :

  array_splice($array,1,1); // all keys will be reindexed from 0

where the second and third parameters are offset (key) and length (how many to remove)

Solution 2

The best to remove multiple keys : use array_filter() to remove all empty strings and falsey value from the array then array_splice() to reorder :

array_splice(array_filter($array), 0, 0);

Answer 2

$array = array_values($array);
