Use PHP to Remove Element From Array – Examples<\/h2>\n

Let’s take a look at how to remove element from array<\/strong> by using an easy to follow example. Let’s consider that we have an array of fruits & we have a vegetable ( an array item ) that we would like to delete from the array. We are going to look at two ways to delete the array item.<\/strong> The first way would be to use the index of the array element to remove the array element<\/strong>\u00a0directly. The second way is to use specified key to remove the array item<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Example 1: Use Index to Remove Array element using PHP<\/h3>\n
<?php \n$fruits = array('apple', 'mango', 'grapes', 'pineapple', 'potato');\n\n\/\/Using index to remove array element\nunset( $fruits[4] );\n\necho '<pre>Result after Using index to remove array element<br \/>';\nprint_r($fruits);\necho '<\/pre>';\n\n\/\/Output\nArray\n(\n&nbsp; &nbsp; [0] => apple\n&nbsp; &nbsp; [1] => mango\n&nbsp; &nbsp; [2] => grapes\n&nbsp; &nbsp; [3] => pineapple\n)\n?><\/pre>\n
Example 2: Use specified key to delete array element using PHP<\/h3>\n
<?php\n\/\/Using the specified key to delete array element\n$fruits = array('fruit1' => 'apple', 'fruit2' => 'mango', 'fruit3' => 'grapes', 'fruit4' => 'pineapple', 'fruit5' => 'potato');\n\nunset( $fruits['fruit5'] );\n\necho '<pre>Result after Using specified key to delete array element<br \/>';\nprint_r($fruits);\necho '<\/pre>';\n\n\/\/Output\nArray\n(\n    [fruit1] => apple\n    [fruit2] => mango\n    [fruit3] => grapes\n    [fruit4] => pineapple\n)\n?><\/pre>\n
