Made this function to delete elements in an array;
<?php
function array_del_elm($input_array, $del_indexes) {
if (is_array($del_indexes)) {
$indexes = $del_indexes;
} elseif(is_string($del_indexes)) {
$indexes = explode($del_indexes, " ");
} elseif(is_numeric($del_indexes)) {
$indexes[0] = (integer)$del_indexes;
} else return;
$del_indexes = null;
$cur_index = 0;
if (sort($indexes)) for($i=0; $i<count($input_array); $i++) {
if ($i == $indexes[$cur_index]) {
$cur_index++;
if ($cur_index == count($indexes)) return $output_array;
continue;
}
$output_array[] = $input_array[$i];
}
return $output_array;
}
?>
but then i saw the methods of doing the same by Tyler Bannister & Paul, could see that theirs were faster, but had floors regarding deleting multiple elements thus support of several ways of giving parameters. I combined the two methods to this to this:
<?php
function array_del_elm($target_array, $del_indexes) {
if (is_array($del_indexes)) {
$indexes = $del_indexes;
} elseif(is_string($del_indexes)) {
$indexes = explode($del_indexes, " ");
} elseif(is_numeric($del_indexes)) {
$indexes[0] = (integer)$del_indexes;
} else return;
unset($del_indexes);
for($i=0; $i<count($indexes); $i++) {
unset($target_array[$indexes[$i]]);
}
return $target_array;
}
?>
Fast, compliant and functional ;)

To delete an individual array element use the unset function
For example:
<?PHP
$arr = array( "A", "B", "C" );
unset( $arr[1] );
// now $arr = array( "A", "C" );
?>
Unlink is for deleting files.

Converting a linear array (like a mysql record set) into a tree, or multi-dimensional array can be a real bugbear. Capitalizing on references in PHP, we can 'stack' an array in one pass, using one loop, like this:
<?php
# array_stack()
# Original idea from:
# http://www.ideashower.com/our_solutions/
# create-a-parent-child-array-structure-in-one-pass/
function array_stack (&$a, $p = '@parent', $c = '@children')
{
$l = $t = array();
foreach ($a AS $key => $val):
if (!$val[$p]) $t[$key] =& $l[$key];
else $l[$val[$p]][$c][$key] =& $l[$key];
$l[$key] = (array)$l[$key] + $val;
endforeach;
return $a = array('tree' => $t, 'leaf' => $l);
}
# Example:
$node = array();
$node[1] = array('@parent' => 0, 'title' => 'I am node 1.');
# ^-----------------------v Link @parent value to key.
$node[2] = array('@parent' => 1, 'title' => 'I am node 2.');
$node[3] = array('@parent' => 2, 'title' => 'I am node 3.');
$node[4] = array('@parent' => 1, 'title' => 'I am node 4.');
$node[5] = array('@parent' => 4, 'title' => 'I am node 5.');
array_stack($node);
$node['leaf'][1]['title'] = 'I am node one.';
$node['leaf'][2]['title'] = 'I am node two.';
$node['leaf'][3]['title'] = 'I am node three.';
$node['leaf'][4]['title'] = 'I am node four.';
$node['leaf'][5]['title'] = 'I am node five.';
echo '<pre>',print_r($node['tree'],TRUE),'</pre>';
?>
Note that there's no parameter checking on the array value, but this is only to keep the function size small. One could easily a quick check in there to make sure the $a parameter was in fact an array.
Hope you find it useful. Huge thanks to Nate Weiner of IdeaShower.com for providing the original function I built on.

A small correction to Endel Dreyer's PHP array to javascript array function. I just changed it to show keys correctly:
function array2js($array,$show_keys)
{
$dimensoes = array();
$valores = array();
$total = count ($array)-1;
$i=0;
foreach($array as $key=>$value){
if (is_array($value)) {
$dimensoes[$i] = array2js($value,$show_keys);
if ($show_keys) $dimensoes[$i] = '"'.$key.'":'.$dimensoes[$i];
} else {
$dimensoes[$i] = '"'.addslashes($value).'"';
if ($show_keys) $dimensoes[$i] = '"'.$key.'":'.$dimensoes[$i];
}
if ($i==0) $dimensoes[$i] = '{'.$dimensoes[$i];
if ($i==$total) $dimensoes[$i].= '}';
$i++;
}
return implode(',',$dimensoes);
}

Function to convert PHP arrays to JavaScript Array Object:
Useful in some cases.
<?php

$i=0;
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$dimensoes[$i] = array2js($value,$show_keys);
} else {
$dimensoes[$i] = '"'.addslashes($value).'"';
if ($show_keys) '"'.$key.'":'.$dimensoes[$i];
}
if ($i==0) $dimensoes[$i] = '['.$dimensoes[$i];
if ($i==$total) $dimensoes[$i].= ']';
$i++;
}
return implode(',',$dimensoes);
}

This variant is faster:
<?php
function array_avg($array,$precision=2){
if(!is_array($array))
return 'ERROR in function array_avg(): this is a not array';
foreach($array as $value)
if(!is_numeric($value))
return 'ERROR in function array_avg(): the array contains one or more non-numeric values';
$cuantos=count($array);
return round(array_sum($array)/$cuantos,$precision);
}
?>

To calculate the average of a array
<?php
function array_avg($array,$precision="2"){
$a=0;
if(is_array($array)){
foreach($array as $value):
if(!is_numeric($value)){
$a++;
}
endforeach;
if($a==0){
$cuantos=count($array);
return round(array_sum($array)/$cuantos,$precision);
}else{
return "ERROR in function array_avg(): the array contains one or more non-numeric values";
}
}else{
return "ERROR in function array_avg(): this is a not array";
}
}

To delete an array key (and its value) from an array:
<?php
function array_delete(&$ary,$key_to_be_deleted)
{
$new = array();
if(is_string($key_to_be_deleted)) {
if(!array_key_exists($key_to_be_deleted,$ary)) {
return;
}
foreach($ary as $key => $value) {
if($key != $key_to_be_deleted) {
$new[$key] = $value;
}
}
$ary = $new;
}
if(is_array($key_to_be_deleted)) {
foreach($key_to_be_deleted as $del) {
array_delete(&$ary,$del);
}
}
}
?>

New value can also be added to the array as shown below.
$theVariable["google"] = "http//google.com";
or
$theVariable["1"] = "http//google.com";

For newbies like me.
Creating new arrays:-
//Creates a blank array.
$theVariable = array();
//Creates an array with elements.
$theVariable = array("A", "B", "C");
//Creating Associaive array.
$theVariable = array(1 => "http//google.com", 2=> "http://yahoo.com");
//Creating Associaive array with named keys
$theVariable = array("google" => "http//google.com", "yahoo"=> "http://yahoo.com");
Note:
New value can be added to the array as shown below.
$theVariable[] = "D";
$theVariable[] = "E";
