PHP Array Exercises : Delete an element from an array

PHP Array: Exercise-4 with Solution

$x = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
Delete an element from the above array. After deleting the element, integer keys must be normalized.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
 $x = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);
 var_dump($x);
 unset($x[3]);
 $x = array_values($x);
 echo '
';
var_dump($x);
?>

Sample Output: 

array(5) {                                                  
  [0]=>                                                     
  int(1)                                                    
  [1]=>                                                     
  int(2)                                                    
  [2]=>                                                     
  int(3)                                                    
  [3]=>                                                     
  int(4)                                                    
  [4]=>                                                     
  int(5)                                                    
}                                                           
array(4) {                                                  
  [0]=>                                                     
  int(1)                                                    
  [1]=>                                                     
  int(2)                                                    
  [2]=> 
  int(3)                                                    
  [3]=>                                                     
  int(5)

PHP: Tips of the Day

How to Sort Multi-dimensional Array by Value?

Try a usort, If you are still on PHP 5.2 or earlier, you'll have to define a sorting function first:

Example:

function sortByOrder($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
}

usort($myArray, 'sortByOrder');

Starting in PHP 5.3, you can use an anonymous function:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] - $b['order'];
});

And finally with PHP 7 you can use the spaceship operator:

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    return $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
});

To extend this to multi-dimensional sorting, reference the second/third sorting elements if the first is zero - best explained below. You can also use this for sorting on sub-elements.

usort($myArray, function($a, $b) {
    $retval = $a['order'] <=> $b['order'];
    if ($retval == 0) {
        $retval = $a['suborder'] <=> $b['suborder'];
        if ($retval == 0) {
            $retval = $a['details']['subsuborder'] <=> $b['details']['subsuborder'];
        }
    }
    return $retval;
});

If you need to retain key associations, use uasort() - see comparison of array sorting functions in the manual
