PHP: How to remove specific element from an array?

itemprop="text">

How do I remove an element
from an array when I know the elements name? for
example:

I have an
array:

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

the user
enters
strawberry

strawberry
is removed.

To fully
explain:

I have a database that stores a list of
items separated by a comma. The code pulls in the list based on a user choice where that
choice is located. So, if they choose strawberry they code pulls in every entry were
strawberry is located then converts that to an array using split(). I want to them
remove the user chosen items, for this example strawberry, from the
array.

Answer

Use rel="noreferrer">array_search to get the key and
remove it with rel="noreferrer">unset if
found:

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

            unset($array[$key]);

}

array_search
returns false (null until PHP 4.2.0) if no
item has been found.

And if there can be
multiple items with the same value, you can use rel="noreferrer">array_keys to get the keys to all
items:

foreach (array_keys($array,
            'strawberry') as $key) {

            unset($array[$key]);
}
