ARRAY_SPLICE($foo, position('def'), 1);
To get the position you will have to cycle through the array though:
$index = 0;
if (in_array($bar, $foo)) {
foreach ($foo as $val) {
if ($val==$bar) {array_splice($foo, $index, 1);}
$index ++;
}
}
If the value can exist several times in the array you will have to take this
into account though:
$index = 0;
$deleted = 0;
if (in_array($bar, $foo)) {
foreach ($foo as $val) {
if ($val==$bar) {
array_splice($foo, ($index - $deleted), 1);
$deleted ++;
}
$index ++;
}
}
simpler maybe:
if (in_array($bar, $foo)) {
foreach ($foo as $val) {
if ($val==$bar) {array_splice($foo, pos($foo), 1);}
}
}
But actually used the one above, never tested if pos() also works when not
using prev(), next() and reset() to walk through an array.
