  1. You can use array_filter to remove empty value (null, false,'',0):

    array_filter($array);


    If you don't want to remove 0 from your array, see @Sabari's answer:

    array_filter($array,'strlen');

  2. You can use:

    To Remove NULL values only:

    $new_array_without_nulls = array_filter($array_with_nulls, 'strlen');


    To Remove False Values:

    $new_array_without_nulls = array_filter($array_with_nulls);


    Hope this helps :)

  3. array_filter($array, function($var) {
    //because you didn't define what is the empty value, I leave it to you
    return !is_empty($var);
    });

  4. That's a typical case for array_filter. You first need to define a function that returns TRUE if the value should be preserved and FALSE if it should be removed:

    function preserve($value)
    {
    if ($value === 0) return TRUE;

    return FALSE;
    }

    $array = array_filter($array, 'preserve');


    You then specify in the callback function (here preserve) what is empty and what not. You have not written in your question specifically, so you need to do it on your own.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
