#How to delete empty elements of an array in PHP?
In PHP, you can delete empty elements of an array by using the "array_filter" function. The function of this function is to use a callback function to filter the units in the array. Its syntax is "array_filter($array[,$ callback[,$flag=0]])", you only need to pass in the array when using it.
array_filter usage example
<?php function odd($var) { // returns whether the input integer is odd return($var & 1); } function even($var) { // returns whether the input integer is even return(!($var & 1)); } $array1 = array("a"=>1, "b"=>2, "c"=>3, "d"=>4, "e"=>5); $array2 = array(6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12); echo "Odd :\n"; print_r(array_filter($array1, "odd")); echo "Even:\n"; print_r(array_filter($array2, "even")); ?>
Output result:
Odd : Array ( [a] => 1 [c] => 3 [e] => 5 ) Even: Array ( [0] => 6 [2] => 8 [4] => 10 [6] => 12 )
