Question

I have the array:

$array=array('red'=>12,'blue'=>14,'violet'=>88,'green'=>58);

Now I want to remove all values of the array starting from the key ‘violet’. So I can get an array equivalent to:

$array=array('red'=>12,'blue'=>14);

How can I achieve this goal, without looping all the array?
Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

array_slice(), array_search(), array_keys()

$array=array('red'=>12,'blue'=>14,'violet'=>88,'green'=>58);

$new_array = array_slice($array,0,array_search("violet",array_keys($array)));

print_r($new_array);
