How to remove 1st,2nd and last index of array?

Question

I am using array_splice to remove 0th and 1st index of an array and I want to remove last index too.

How to do it?

array_splice($arr, 0, 2);

Here is my array -

Array ( [code] => 1 [name] => Abc [On] => 15619 [OP] => 15886 [Vac] => 31505 [Target] => 50702 [Co] => 62.14 )

@JustOnUnderMillions - you can also use a negative offset (-1) for the 3rd argument, rather than count-3 — Mark Baker

array_splice with proper syntax can extract the array you want.

$arr = [1,2,3,4,5];
$newArr = array_splice($arr, 2, -1);
print_r($newArr);
// prints
Array
(
    [0] => 3
    [1] => 4
)

please try this

     $a1 = Array ( 
           'code' => 1,
           'name' => Abc, 
           'On' => 15619, 
           'OP' => 15886, 
           'Vac' => 31505, 
           'Target' => 50702, 
           'Co' => 62.14 );
       echo "<pre>"; 
       print_r(array_splice($a1,2,-1));

Output will be

Array
(
    [On] => 15619
    [OP] => 15886
    [Vac] => 31505
    [Target] => 50702
)

You can do it in this simple way:

$arr = array_slice($arr, 2, count($arr)-3, true);

offset 2 for skipping the first 2 entries
-3 because second arg is for length not second offset or range

Just use two shift and one pop operations on the main array.

$array = your_array();

array_shift($array); //remove 1st
array_shift($array); //remove 2nd
array_pop($array); //remove last

print_r($array); //required array

Here is the easiest solution I have got.

array_pop

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7) array_pop — Pop the element off the end of array

<?php
$stack = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry");
$fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?>

Source : php.net/manual/en/function.array-pop.php

You can use more shorter syntax of unset() as

unset($arr[1], $arr[2], count($arr) );

FATAL ERROR Can't use function return value in write context

JustOnUnderMillions Over a year ago

Plz check your answer, keep assoc keys in mind and the use of count here and that the first entry of an index is 0 not 1 in php

You have two options while using splice function

First is:

array_splice($arr, 0, 2);
array_splice($arr, -1);
print_r($arr);

Second option is use splice function in smart way

$arr1 = array_splice($arr, 2, -1);
print_r($arr1);

Hope it will help you.
