How to remove specific element from an array in PHP?

Here is the simple quick post about removing specific element from an array using php.In this example we are going to use array_search() function , it will return match value key ,based on returned key by using unset() function we can delete/ unset the element from the array.Simple isn’t it.

Example :

function removeElement($array,$value) {
   if (($key = array_search($value, $array)) !== false) {
     unset($array[$key]);
   }
  return $array;
}

function removeElement($array,$value) {

if (($key = array_search($value, $array)) !== false) {

unset($array[$key]);

}

return $array;

}

How to use

$array = array('apple', 'orange', 'strawberry', 'blueberry', 'kiwi');
$result = removeElement($array,'blueberry');
print_r($result);

$array = array('apple', 'orange', 'strawberry', 'blueberry', 'kiwi');

$result = removeElement($array,'blueberry');

print_r($result);
