Question

I have an array that has 120~ or so offsets and I was wondering how you would delete all the values of said array after a certain offset containing a specified string. For example: Offset [68] has the string ‘Overflow’. I want to remove everything including 68 and beyond and rebuild the array (with its current sorting in tact).

I tried messing around with slice and splice but I can’t seem to get it to return the right values. I was also thinking of just grabbing the offset number that contains 'Overflow' and then looping it through a for statement until $i = count($array); but that seems a little more intensive than it should be.

Would this be the best way? Or is there some function to do this that I’m just using wrong?

Use array_slice().

$desired = array_slice($input, 0, $upTo);
