Search and delete

[InSeCo]

Hello,

how can I delete a part from an array?

I want to search in the array to the first 5 characters, after that I want
to delete the value from the array!

## Before
$example = array(
1 => '1001,sastu',
2 => '1003,dudaa',
3 => '1006,s1001fd',
4 => '1008,empdat',
5 => "1010,limaa d",
);

##after searching for "1006," the record must be deleted!
$example = array(
1 => '1001,sastu',
2 => '1003,dudaa',
4 => '1008,empdat',
5 => "1010,limaa d",
);

Thnx,
InseCo

Re: Search and delete

function array_remove($a , $n){
$new = array_merge(arr ay_slice($a, 0, $n), array_slice($a, $n + 1));
}

Correction:

function array_remove($a , $n){
return array_merge(arr ay_slice($a, 0, $n), array_slice($a, $n + 1));
}

Re: Search and delete

Is your array really indexed beggining with 1?
do you really need the keys reindexed?
why won't a simple unset($example[3]) do?
