I want to remove an item from an array. I can write this:
$item = array(
'id' => 1
'name' => 'name'
);
$item2 = $item;
unset($item2['id']);
$names[] = $item2;
but the last 3 lines are somewhat "cumbersome", soo un elegant. Can it be solved without creating $item2 ? Something like:
$item = array(
'id' => 1
'name' => 'name'
);
$names[] = array_ignore_index('id', $item);
From your codes, I can see that you are trying to get the names[] from item array. One possible simple solution for this specific scenario:
For example IF you have :
$items = array(
array(
//this is your item 1
'id' => 1,
'name' => 'name1'
),
array(
//this is item 2
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'name2'
)
);
and you want to retrieve the names in the names array.
You can just do:
$names = array_column($items, 'name');
It will return:
Array
(
[0] => "name1"
[1] => "name2"
)
Please note this solution is best fit for this specific scenario, it may not fit your current scenario depending.
The shortest out of the box solution is to create a diff of the array keys:
$names[] = array_diff_key($item, array_flip(['id']));
function array_ignore_index($id,$item){ ///function
unset($item[$id]);
return $item;
}
$a=array('id'=>1,
'name'=>'name');
$b=array_ignore_index('name',$a);
echo $b['name']; //create error id is not present
Here is the code for required operation..
