Hi all

I have this in a simple routine...

for($i=0, $if=count($array); $i<$if; ++$i)
      if( $array[$i] == '' )
      {
              array_splice( $array, $i, 1);

              --$i;
              --$if;
      }

My question: is this the better way to do it?

array_filter() will return an array without any elements that equate to
false (empty strings, 0, false) although you can use the optional
argument to specify your own function which should return true if you
want to keep an element, or false if you want to ditch it, if you need
to eliminate only empty strings.

I'd just do

foreach($array as &$v) {
    if($v === false || $v === null || $v === 0) {
        unset($v);
    }
}


I wouldn't do anything more complicated >.>

And you would unfortunately find it doesn't work.

Cheers,
Rob.
