Answer / vipul dalwala

Thank you, Pankaj for your comments.

Here is the sample code with both array_splice and
array_slice.

<?PHP

$input = array
("a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k");

$output = array_slice($input, 0, 5));

print_r($output); // OUTPUT: Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2]
=> c [3] => d [4] => e )
print_r($input); // OUTPUT: Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2]
=> c [3] => d [4] => e [5] => f [6] => g [7] => h [8] => i
[9] => j [10] => k )

$output = array_splice($input, 0, 5));

print_r($output); // OUTPUT: Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2]
=> c [3] => d [4] => e )
print_r($input); // OUTPUT: Array ( [0] => f [1] => g [2]
=> h [3] => i [4] => j [5] => k )

?>

So again it depends on how you want your input array after
appying the function. As per the question what I understood
is Raheem wants to remove 5 elements from the input array.
Thats why I have suggested array_splice so that after
function my input array has only remaining elements.

Any commets are welcome.

Answer / vipul dalwala

Hi Yukti,

You can also use array_slice but array_splice is also not
the wronng one.

array_splice function can take four arguments if you omit
the fourth argument which is for replacement array this
function will serve the same purpose as array_slice.

Answer / vaneet badhan

$a=array(2,4,1,3,22,15);

for($v=0;$v<=4;$v++)
{
unset($a[$v]);
}

This code will remove elements "2,4,1,3,22" from array $a
and the output will be : "15"
