Deleting An Array Item


I have a standard array:
$foo = array(
0 => 'abc'
1 => 'def'
2 => 'ghi');

and I have a variable, $bar, which equals 'def' ... and I want to check
my array to see if the value of $bar exists in the array, and if it
does, delete it from the array.

if (in_array($bar, $foo)) {
// what goes here???
}

I've done this before, but for the life of me, I'm drawing a blank now.
Help a bruthah out?

Deleting A Single Item From The Middle Of An Array?
I have an array that contain objects, I want to be able to test against the id of that object and remove it from the array. In it's simplest for I want to go from this:

$people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harriet', 'Brenda', 'Jo');

...to this...

$people = array('Tom', 'Dick', 'Brenda', 'Jo');

The fact that the items in the array are objects should not matter right? Plus I've already written my loops and conditionals to check which item i need to remove.

function removeItem ( $item ) {
   $len = count ( $_SESSION['basket_arr'] ) ;
   if ( $len == 1 ) {
      emptyBasket ( ) ;
   } else {
      for ( $i = 0 ; $i < $len ; $i++ ) {
         if ( $item->id == $_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i]->id ) {
            //$_SESSION['basket_arr'][$i] must go
         } } }}

Write A Conditional Statement To See If The Current Item In An Array Is The Last Item.
This seems like it would be so simple, but I haven't been able to solve it. I want to write a conditional statement to see if the current item in an array is the last item. I tried

if (count($array) == (current($array))

but that didn't work. count($array) will give me the number of items in the array. What do I use for the current position in the array.

Array Explode Problem Result In A 6 Item Array
I have the following:

$BB_Basket = "basket=¦APL6007,2.00¦AVX8900,1.00¦ARCAV500,1.00";
$basket_containers = explode('¦', $BB_Basket);
unset($basket_containers[0]);
print_r($basket_containers);

This results in

Array ( [1] => APL6007,2.00 [2] => AVX8900,1.00 [3] => ARCAV500,1.00 )

Now when I try to explode further with

$basket_items = explode(',', $basket_containers);
print_r($basket_items);

This results in

Array ( [0] => Array )

This should result in a 6 item array. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Item In Array
I have an array, set up like this:

$this->navigation_array['Home'] = array('text' => 'Home', 'act' => 'Home', 'redirect' => 'No', 'active' => 'Home', 'link' => 'index.php?act=home', 'default' => 'Info');

Modify Array Item
I'm building a shopping cart and need to add the function so if an item is selected twice, the 'quantity' counter increments. I can't get the syntax right for modifying the array value. I have this:

if ( $row['gnsz']==$gnsz)

$newqty=$row['qty'] ;

$row['qty']= $newqty;

Put The Itemid Of An Item Into An Array.

error($input);
}
$g=mysql_fetch_array($sel);
$itemid = $g['itemid'];
$itemid[$count] = $itemid;
$count++;

}

Basically, my script is trying to put the itemid of an item into an array. The problem i'm getting is that, it's not saving the values in the array. For example, if i have 3 items and it puts them into the array, it will only save the 3rd item in the array $itemid[3] and 1 and 2 will be blank.

Arrays : Returning A Reference To An Array Item ??

Checking If A Value Is Not In An Array And Deleting Record From Database
I have been trying to figure this one out and have come up against a brick wall although I know it should be relatively simple. I have a form that passes an array to a php script from a multiple select box that is created dynamically.  If a user deselects an item then I want to delete the record from the database but am having a big problem with it. The table in the dbase is quite simple with just three fields:

id
classid
formid

Basically, the form send through a classid and a formid value and I want to delete any records that have a classid that are not in the form array and have a formid which is passed as a hidden value. I suppose really what I want is to know how to see if a classid is not in the array that is passed.

Batch File Deleting And Folder Deleting
I have a folder in my web site where I used php to create and copy in files. but now I can't delete them easily. The only way I know how that is possible is through php. I get an error the following ftp error:

550 th: Permission denied
I had the chmod() set to 0777 on every file and folder. But I still seem to loss control over the files when I try and do things with them through other means.

I think it is because the user I use to access the files via ftp a diffrent user. So I tryed to add a function with chown() for the new files I was posting and uploading. It didn't work on those new files. so it looks like the only thing I can do is use the unlink() function which deletes the files fine.

The only problem is now I have something like 100 sub directories all with files in them. I need to figure out a way to batch delete them. I can't find a script that goes through and finds all file contents including all sub directories and unlink those things.

I found some that will use a for loop to list out the contents of a folder but it is just files. No sub directories. Any body got any ideas on which functions I should use or know where a script is that I can base mine off of.

I am not sure how to approach this since what I tryed with chown and chmod has failed thus far. I currently have no code and am starting from scratch on this batch flushing of my directory.
