Question

My Array looks like this:

    Array ( 

      [Team] => Array ( 

        [0] => Array ( 

          [Name] => Team A [Played] => 0 [Wins] => 0 [Draws] => 0 [Losses] => 0 [Gd] => 0 [Points] => 0 ) 

        [1] => Array ( 

          [Name] => Team B [Played] => 0 [Wins] => 0 [Draws] => 0 [Losses] => 0 [Gd] => 0 [Points] => 0 ) ) )

I want to be able to remove a team with a particular name, say Team A.

Answer 1

I, myself always like to use a foreach loop instead of counting and using a for loop. Just my preference. Also, In one of the previous answers it was recommended to use array_splice, however unset works better here – unless you are wanting to put the removed team into a new array, which is what you’d typically use array_splice for. Unset would, I believe, save some memory.

$remove = 'Team A';    
foreach ($teams['Team'] as $key => $team) {
    if($team['Name'] == $remove){
       unset($teams['Team'][$key]);
    }        
}
