Here's the thing... I don't think there should be such a function for several reasons: #1. The same value could be there for mulitple keys. #2. What test is used to determine if values are "equal"? Are '0' and 0 the same? #3. array_search + unset is not exactly horrible #4. One really shouldn't write code that paints one into this corner... If one needs to track the values efficiently to remove them, there should be an array (or other data structure) with the value as a 'key' to do fast lookup of whatever needs to be deleted All just imho, of course. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
