Question

I’m removing a set of elements with array slice, from e certain offset to the end.

How can I get the elements that were removed, in a different array?

Answer 1

You just need to use array_slice twice:

$begin = array_slice($array, 0, 5);
$end = array_slice($array, 5);

Now $begin contains the first 5 elements of $array, and $end contains the rest.
