The same reason there's no simple way to undefine variable whose value
is 42 without knowing the variable name. Array is a container indexed by
keys, not values. So if you've got just a value, there's no way to know
if it's in the container at all, and if it is, where it is, except for
going through all the values and checking if any of them is equal to
what you nedd.

I see:
if(($key = array_search($del_val, $messages)) !== false) {
unset($messages[$key]);
}
Nothing horrible here.
