// Our initial array
  $arr = array("blue", "green", "red", "yellow", "green", "orange", "yellow", "indigo", "red");
  print_r($arr);

  // Remove the elements who's values are yellow or red
  $arr = array_diff($arr, array("yellow", "red"));
  print_r($arr);

这是上面代码的输出：

Array
(
    [0] => blue
    [1] => green
    [2] => red
    [3] => yellow
    [4] => green
    [5] => orange
    [6] => yellow
    [7] => indigo
    [8] => red
)

Array
(
    [0] => blue
    [1] => green
    [4] => green
    [5] => orange
    [7] => indigo
)

现在，array_values（）将很好地重新索引数字数组，但它将从数组中删除所有键字符串，并用数字替换它们。如果需要保留键名称（字符串），或者如果所有键都是数字，则重新索引数组，请使用array_merge（）：

$arr = array_merge(array_diff($arr, array("yellow", "red")));
print_r($arr);

输出

Array
(
    [0] => blue
    [1] => green
    [2] => green
    [3] => orange
    [4] => indigo
)

unset（）数组中的多个碎片元素

虽然这里多次提到unset（），但还需要提到的是，unset（（）接受多个变量，从而可以在一次操作中轻松删除数组中的多个非连续元素：

// Delete multiple, noncontiguous elements from an array
$array = [ 'foo', 'bar', 'baz', 'quz' ];
unset( $array[2], $array[3] );
print_r($array);
// Output: [ 'foo', 'bar' ]

动态取消设置（）

unset（）不接受要删除的键数组，因此下面的代码将失败（但这会使动态使用unset（（）稍微容易一些）。

$array = range(0,5);
$remove = [1,2];
$array = unset( $remove ); // FAILS: "unexpected 'unset'"
print_r($array);

相反，unset（）可以在foreach循环中动态使用：

$array = range(0,5);
$remove = [1,2];
foreach ($remove as $k=>$v) {
    unset($array[$v]);
}
print_r($array);
// Output: [ 0, 3, 4, 5 ]

通过复制数组来删除数组键

还有一种做法尚待提及。有时，消除某些数组键的最简单方法是将$array1复制到$array2中。

$array1 = range(1,10);
foreach ($array1 as $v) {
    // Remove all even integers from the array
    if( $v % 2 ) {
        $array2[] = $v;
    }
}
print_r($array2);
// Output: [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ];

显然，同样的做法适用于文本字符串：

$array1 = [ 'foo', '_bar', 'baz' ];
foreach ($array1 as $v) {
    // Remove all strings beginning with underscore
    if( strpos($v,'_')===false ) {
        $array2[] = $v;
    }
}
print_r($array2);
// Output: [ 'foo', 'baz' ]

如果需要从关联数组中删除多个元素，可以使用array_diff_key（）（此处与array_flip（）一起使用）：

$my_array = array(
  "key1" => "value 1",
  "key2" => "value 2",
  "key3" => "value 3",
  "key4" => "value 4",
  "key5" => "value 5",
);

$to_remove = array("key2", "key4");

$result = array_diff_key($my_array, array_flip($to_remove));

print_r($result);

输出：

Array ( [key1] => value 1 [key3] => value 3 [key5] => value 5 ) 

unset($array[$index]);

<?php
    // If you want to remove a particular array element use this method
    $my_array = array("key1"=>"value 1", "key2"=>"value 2", "key3"=>"value 3");

    print_r($my_array);
    if (array_key_exists("key1", $my_array)) {
        unset($my_array['key1']);
        print_r($my_array);
    }
    else {
        echo "Key does not exist";
    }
?>

<?php
    //To remove first array element
    $my_array = array("key1"=>"value 1", "key2"=>"value 2", "key3"=>"value 3");
    print_r($my_array);
    $new_array = array_slice($my_array, 1);
    print_r($new_array);
?>


<?php
    echo "<br/>    ";
    // To remove first array element to length
    // starts from first and remove two element
    $my_array = array("key1"=>"value 1", "key2"=>"value 2", "key3"=>"value 3");
    print_r($my_array);
    $new_array = array_slice($my_array, 1, 2);
    print_r($new_array);
?>

输出

 Array ( [key1] => value 1 [key2] => value 2 [key3] =>
 value 3 ) Array (    [key2] => value 2 [key3] => value 3 )
 Array ( [key1] => value 1 [key2] => value 2 [key3] => value 3 )
 Array ( [key2] => value 2 [key3] => value 3 )
 Array ( [key1] => value 1 [key2] => value 2 [key3] => value 3 )
 Array ( [key2] => value 2 [key3] => value 3 )

有两种方法可以删除数组的第一项，同时保持索引的顺序，如果您不知道第一项的键名。

解决方案#1

// 1 is the index of the first object to get
// NULL to get everything until the end
// true to preserve keys
$array = array_slice($array, 1, null, true);

解决方案#2

// Rewinds the array's internal pointer to the first element
// and returns the value of the first array element.
$value = reset($array);
// Returns the index element of the current array position
$key = key($array);
unset($array[$key]);

对于此示例数据：

$array = array(10 => "a", 20 => "b", 30 => "c");

您必须获得以下结果：

array(2) {
  [20]=>
  string(1) "b"
  [30]=>
  string(1) "c"
}
