How to delete elements from array from certain value on? - php

Question

I have an array in PHP and I don't know how to delete all the elements from every array element from certain character on, icluding that character. Is there a way to do this?
array(1092) {
["Piper;Rosii;Sare;Test;Vinete#####Piper ->Negru;Rosii ->Călite;Sare ->De masă, grunjoasă;Vinete ->Prăjite"]=>
int(124)
}
In my example I want to delete all text from "#####", including "#####" to the end, foreach array element. Is this possible? Or is there a PHP function for this?
UPDATE
My result should look like this:
array(1092) {
["Piper;Rosii;Sare;Test;Vinete]=>
int(124)
}

You can use array_walk to apply the substr and strpos to each element:
$array = [
'23845637;54634;345;3453345;#####morestuff',
'234234#####34596078345j34534534',
'34343245dfg#####asdfsadf;23452345;sdfsdf;345345'
];
array_walk($array, function(&$value, $key) {
$value = substr($value, 0, strpos($value, '#####'));
});
var_dump($array);
Will result in:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(27) "23845637;54634;345;3453345;"
[1]=>
string(6) "234234"
[2]=>
string(11) "34343245dfg"
}
This will modify the original array.
For each element in the array, we search for the position of '#####' in the string and only take the part from 0 to the position in the string where '#####' occurs.

This will do that by looping through the array exploding the key by ##### and adding it to a new array. I did it in a loop in case your array is bigger than 1
<?php
$oldArray = array("Piper;Rosii;Sare;Test;Vinete#####Piper ->Negru;Rosii ->Călite;Sare ->De masă, grunjoasă;Vinete ->Prăjite" => 124);
$newArray = array();
foreach ($oldArray as $key => $row) {
$newKey = explode('#####', $key);
$newArray[$newKey[0]] = $row;
}
var_dump($newArray);

You can use substr and strpos to add the new entry and then unset the old entry in the array like this example:
$array = array(
"Piper;Rosii;Sare;Test;Vinete#####Piper ->Negru;Rosii ->Călite;Sare ->De masă, grunjoasă;Vinete ->Prăjite" => 124
);
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
$array[substr($key, 0, strpos($key, '#####'))] = $value;
unset($array[$key]);
}
var_dump($array);
Will result in:
array(1) {
["Piper;Rosii;Sare;Test;Vinete"]=>
int(124)
}
