PHP array delete one item

Question

Just a simple question - have this array:

 Array
(
    [year] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2019
 [1] => 2020
        )

    [user] => [email protected]
)

I just want to completely remove [user] => [email protected] from this Array.

The user will have always only one ocurrence.

I tried unset($filter['user'][0]); also unset($filter['user']); but nothing works.

unset should do it. Can you please post code example so we can search the error? — dWinder

you can use unset

<?php


 $array = Array
(
    "year" => Array
        (
            0 => 2019,
 1 => 2020
        ),

    "user"=> "[email protected]"
);


unset($array['user']);

print_r($array);
?>

I think that what the OP does where he said in the question unset($filter['user']); - but it still doesn't work

Actually "[user] => [email protected]" is an array index not array. You need to use this syntax

unset($array['user']);

here $array is the name of array.
