This request seems pretty valid...
Say.... um you had an array that you delete from and create elements
frequently.. amost like a db table... and you wanted to clean this
periocally.. in addition to this you wanted the index to be renumbered...
having a
array_vaccum() would be nice...
eg..
$a = array("", "blah", "", "blah");
array_vaccum($a);
would make
$a[0] => "blah"
$a[1] => "blah"
writing this code in php_userspace would't be too hard but i can see this
being used by many people
function array_vaccum($a)
{
foreach($a as $b)
{
if($b != null)
$ret[] = $b;
}
return $ret;
}
and then you would need to worry about keys...
function array_avaccum($a)
{
$keys = array_keys($a);
foreach($keys as $key)
{
if($a[$key] != null)
$ret[$key] = $a[$key];
}
return $ret;
}
calling this code many many times would be way faster in the core code..?
wouldn't it?
