Unsetting index in array turns it to an object

Question

So I have a JSON document I\'m storing in CouchDB. Here\'s the important part of it:

\"games\": {
   \"creator\": [
       \"cf86d68b24c1bbf22702356572027642\",         


        

Answer 1

I fixed it like this:

unset($user->games->creator[1]);
$user->games->creator = array_values($user->games->creator);

Answer 2

Instead of using unset, use array_splice. This will automatically adjust the array indexes:

array_splice($user->games->creator, 1, 1);
