thanks Leif, not too many think like you :) some people are on this list just because they think they are some genius in php, then when someone with less experience asks for help they bitch and basically tell you to find your own solution or read the manual, that is the first place any REAL php coder would go for help FIRST, but it doesn't always solve a problem thats why there is a thing called MAILING LIST. :) cheers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leif Gregory" <php@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:39 AM Subject: Re: delete part of array > Hello Jochem, > > Wednesday, January 12, 2005, 8:08:09 PM, you wrote: > JM> read the manual entry first (see below) - and understand what the > JM> function actually does - never just assume because its giving you > JM> the result you want now that it will always work the way you > JM> expect. > > Don't be a 'tard...
