Deleting an element from an array in PHP?

 Yes, there are multiple ways to delete an element from an array in PHP.

1. Using the unset() function: The unset() function is used to remove a specific element from an array. Here's an example:

php
$array = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'grape'); 
unset($array[2]); 
// Remove the third element (orange) 
foreach ($array as $fruit) { 
echo $fruit . "\n"; 
// Output: apple banana grape 
}

2. Using the array_splice() function: The array_splice() function can be used to remove a specific range of elements from an array. Here's an example:

php
$array = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange', 'grape'); 
array_splice($array, 2, 1); 
// Remove one element starting from the third element 
foreach ($array as $fruit) { 
echo $fruit . "\n"; 
// Output: apple banana grape 
}

In both cases, the foreach loop will no longer include the element that was removed from the array.

Solution: 2

Deleting a single array element

If you want to delete just one array element you can use unset() or alternatively \array_splice().

If you know the value and don’t know the key to delete the element you can use \array_search() to get the key. This only works if the element does not occur more than once, since \array_search returns the first hit only.

unset()

Note that when you use unset() the array keys won’t change. If you want to reindex the keys you can use \array_values() after unset(), which will convert all keys to numerically enumerated keys starting from 0.

Code:

$array = [0 => "a", 1 => "b", 2 => "c"];
unset($array[1]);
          // ↑ Key which you want to delete

Output:

[
    [0] => a
    [2] => c
]
