array_pad
@Orsi
correct me if I'm wrong... but an easier version might be
<?php
/*
* This function deletes the given element from a one-dimension array
* Parameters: $array: the array (in/out)
* $deleteIt: the value which we would like to delete
* $useOldKeys: if it is false then the function will re-index the array (from 0, 1, ...)
* if it is true: the function will keep the old keys
* Returns true, if this value was in the array, otherwise false (in this case the array is same as before)
*/
function deleteFromArray(&$array, $deleteIt, $useOldKeys = FALSE)
{
$key = array_search($deleteIt,$array,TRUE);
if($key === FALSE)
return FALSE;
unset($array[$key]);
if(!$useOldKeys)
$array = array_values($array);
return TRUE;
}
?>
--untested but should work.. rite?--
array_pop
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
array_pop — Estrae l'elemento alla fine dell'array
Descrizione
array_pop() estrae e restituisce l'ultimo valore di array , accorciando array di un elemento. Se array è vuoto (o non è un array), viene restituito NULL.
Nota: Questa funzione farà il reset() del puntatore dell'array dopo l'uso.
Example #1 esempio di array_pop()
<?php
$pila = array("arancia", "banana", "mela", "lampone");
$frutto = array_pop($pila);
print_r($pila);
?>
Dopo questa istruzione, $pila avrà solo 3 elementi:
Array ( [0] => arancia [1] => banana [2] => mela )
e lampone verrà assegnato alla variabile $frutto.
Avviso
Questa funzione può restituire il Booleano FALSE, ma può anche restituire un valore non-Booleano valutato come FALSE, come ad esempio 0 o "". Per favore fare riferimento alla sezione Booleans per maggiori informazioni. Usare l'operatore === per controllare il valore restituito da questa funzione.
Vedere anche array_push(), array_shift() e array_unshift().

I think you are still tired. What would be wrong with:
<?php
$array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four');
//pop the last element off
array_pop($array);
//$array == array('one', 'two', 'three');
?>
As the documentation clearly notes, array_pop() not only returns the last element, but actually removes it from the array wich is passed by reference. Calling array_diff is a waste of resources.

Hi,
Here is a simple function which delete one element from the array (with value):
<?php
/*
* This function deletes the given element from a one-dimension array
* Parameters: $array: the array (in/out)
* $deleteIt: the value which we would like to delete
* $useOldKeys: if it is false then the function will re-index the array (from 0, 1, ...)
* if it is true: the function will keep the old keys
* Returns true, if this value was in the array, otherwise false (in this case the array is same as before)
*/
function deleteFromArray(&$array, $deleteIt, $useOldKeys = FALSE)
{
$tmpArray = array();
$found = FALSE;
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
if($value !== $deleteIt)
{
if(FALSE === $useOldKeys)
{
$tmpArray[] = $value;
}
else
{
$tmpArray[$key] = $value;
}
}
else
{
$found = TRUE;
}
}
$array = $tmpArray;
return $found;
}
?>
Maybe it will help somebody...

I'm sorry, I must have been extremely tired when writing the note below. :P
Replace $element with $array, and the code will work nicely.
The right code would be..
<?php
//$array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four');
//pop the last element off and return the array
$array = array_diff($array, array(array_pop($array)));

I've found myself several times wanting the array (minus the popped element) returned, instead of the element returned.
The following code does this nicely:
<?php
//$array = array('one', 'two', 'three', 'four');
//pop the last element off and return the array
$array = array_diff($array, array(array_pop($element)));

I had a problem when using this function because my array was made up entirley of numbers, so I have made my own function. Hopefully it will be useful to somebody.
function array_trim_end($array){
$num=count($array);
$num=$num-1;
unset($array[$num]);
return $array;
}

In a previous example ...
<?php
function array_trim ( $array, $index ) {
if ( is_array ( $array ) ) {
unset ( $array[$index] );
array_unshift ( $array, array_shift ( $array ) );
return $array;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
?>
This have a problem. if u unset the last value and then use
<?
array_unshift ( $array, array_shift ( $array ) );
?>
will return a : Array ( [0] => )
so u can fix it using...
<?php
if (count($array) > 0) array_unshift ( $values, array_shift ( $values ) );
?>
good luck ;)

strrchr is a lot more useful than the other example using array_pop for finding the extension of a file. For example:
<?php
$ext = strrchr($filename, ".");
?>
$ext will contain the extension of the file, including a ".", if the file has an extension, and FALSE if the file has no extension. If the file has multiple extensions, such as "filename.tar.gz", then this construction will just return the last extension.

Quick way to get the extension from a file name using array_pop:
$ext = array_pop(explode(".",$filename));

A function to delete an array value that recalculates the index ( its very short and easy to understand ).
Hope this might help someone...
<?php
/* Usage:
$array : Array
$indey : Integer
The value of $array at the index $index will be
deleted by the function.
*/
function array_trim ( $array, $index ) {
if ( is_array ( $array ) ) {
unset ( $array[$index] );
array_unshift ( $array, array_shift ( $array ) );
return $array;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
?>

array_pop() can be usefull for fetching extentions of files, especially in cases where there might be more than one period in the filename.
eg:
<?php
$filename = "textfile.txt.bak";
$tmp = explode(".", $filename);
$ext = array_pop($tmp);
print_r($ext); // Shows "bak"
?>

Be aware that using array_pop on an associative array that uses a numeric string as a key changes the key:
<?php
$stack= array("12" => "green", "54" => "brown", "672" => "blue");
print_r($stack);
$fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?>
Results of execution:
Array
(
[12] => green
[54] => brown
[672] => blue
)
Array
(
[0] => green
[1] => brown
)
However, if there is a non-numeric character in the key, the key will be maintained:
<?php
$stack= array("g1" => "green", "b1" => "brown", "b2" => "blue");
print_r($stack);
$fruit = array_pop($stack);
print_r($stack);
?>
Results of execution:
Array
(
[g1] => green
[b1] => brown
[b2] => blue
)
Array
(
[g1] => green
[b1] => brown
)

A function that may help some out, considering it's pretty much the one mentioned previously...
<?php
function array_trim($arr, $indice) {
if(!isset($indice)) {
$indice = count($arr)-1;
}
unset($arr[$indice]);
array_shift($arr);
return $arr;
}
?>
It cuts the given index value off of the array, but without the shift, if the 'index' value isn't given, it cuts off the end value.

Hi
Here there is a function that delete a elemente from a array and re calculate indexes
<?php
function eliminarElementoArreglo ($array, $indice)
{
if (array_key_exists($indice, $array))
{
$temp = $array[0];
$array[0] = $array[$indice];
$array[$indice] = $temp;
array_shift($array);
//reacomodamos índices
for ($i = 0 ; $i < $indice ; $i++)
{
$dummy = $array[$i];
$array[$i] = $temp;
$temp = $dummy;
}
}
return $array;
}
?>
