Delete an array item

[mickallen]

Can anyone tell me the best way to delete an item within an array.
I want to search for a value within the array and then delete the item from the array if it meets certain criteria, which means the value could be anywhere within the array. I also want to be able to delete it totally from the array without leaving any indexes and blank values I have used the array_splice() function but wodered if there was another way as I'm having trouble getting it to work correctly.

If the keys of your array are integers, try using unset() on the array and then use array_splice() to renumber the keys.

For example:

$test[0] = '5';
$test[1] = '6';
$test[2] = '7';
$test[3] = '8';
$test[4] = '9';

unset($test[2]);
array_splice($test,0,0);
for($i=0; $i<count($test); $i++) {
print &quot;$i: $test[$i]<br>&quot;;
}

will return:

0: 5
1: 6
2: 8
3: 9
