Delete row from php array [duplicate]

Question

How can I remove an element from an array?

For example:

$data = Array('first' , 'second' , 'third'); array_delete($data[2]); #$data would now read Array('first', 'second') 

Does such a built-in function exist? Thanks.

Answer 1

Use the unset method:

unset($data[2]); 

Answer 2

unset($data[2]); 

yes it does. unset().

Answer 3

The above answers work. But here is what i got from the site listed below. I think its cool.

//deletes a number on index $idx in array and returns the new array function array_delete($idx,$array) { unset($array[$idx]); return (is_array($array)) ? array_values($array) : null; }
