Destroy a single element of an array

unset()

$array1 = array('A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E');
unset($array1[2]); // deleteDelete known index(2) value from array
var_dump($array1);

Out putThe output will be:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(1) "A"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "B"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "D"
  [4]=>
  string(1) "E"
}

If you need to re indexingindex the array:

$array1=array_values$array1 = array_values($array1);
var_dump($array1);

Then Outputthe output will be:

array(4) {
  [0]=>
  string(1) "A"
  [1]=>
  string(1) "B"
  [2]=>
  string(1) "D"
  [3]=>
  string(1) "E"
}

Pop the element off the end of array - return the value of the removed element

mixed array_pop ( array &$array )

$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
$last_fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
print_r('Last Fruit :'.$last_fruit); // Last element of the array

OutputThe output will be

Array
(
    [0] => orange
    [1] => banana
    [2] => apple
)
Last Fruit : raspberry

Remove the first element (red) from an array, - return the value of the removed element

mixed array_shift ( array &$array )

$color=array$color = array("a"=>"red""a" => "red","b"=>"green" "b" => "green" ,"c"=>"blue" "c" => "blue");
$first_color=array_shift$first_color = array_shift($color);
print_r ($color);
print_r ('First Color : '.$first_color);

OutputThe output will be:

Array

    [b] => green
    [c] => blue
