I want to delete array index which contain rating 0 here is my array
array(
(int) 0 => array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '1',
'rating' => (int) 5
)
),
(int) 1 => array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '3',
'rating' => (int) 9
)
),
(int) 2 => array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '4',
'rating' => '0'
)
)
)
and what I did
for($i = 0; $i<count($agetGigsItem); $i++)
{
if($agetGigsItem[$i]['Gig']['rating']==0)
{
unset($agetGigsItem[$i]);
}
$this->set('agetGigsItem', $agetGigsItem);
}
i also try foreach loop but unable to resolve this issue.
foreach ($agetGigsItem as $key => $value) {
if ($value["Gig"]["rating"] == 0) { unset($agetGigsItem[$key]); }
}

I think you need to reupdate your array.
foreach ($agetGigsItem as $key => $value) {
if ($value["Gig"]["rating"] != 0)
{
unset($agetGigsItem[$key]);
}
$this->set('agetGigsItem', $agetGigsItem);
}

I hope you are missing $this and so you cannot access the array in CakePHP.
So try this:
foreach ($this->$agetGigsItem as $key => $value) {
if ($value["Gig"]["rating"] == 0) {
unset($this->$agetGigsItem[$key]);
}
}

This code will unset arrey index with value 0.
<?php
$array=array(
array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '1',
'rating' =>5
)
),
array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '3',
'rating' =>9
)
),
array(
'Gig' => array(
'id' => '4',
'rating' =>0
)
)
);
foreach($array as $a){
if($a['Gig']['rating']==0){
unset($a['Gig']['rating']);
}
$array1[]=$a;
}
var_dump($array1);

Destroying occurances within an array you are actually processing over with a for or a foreach is always a bad idea. Each time you destroy an occurance the loop can easily get corrupted and get in a terrible mess.
If you want to remove items from an array it is better to create a copy of the array and process over that new array in the loop but remove the items from the original array.
So try this instead
$tmparray = $this->agetGigsItem; // will copy agetGigsItem into new array
foreach ($tmparray as $key => $value) {
if ($value["Gig"]["rating"] == 0) {
unset($this->agetGigsItem[$key]);
}
}
unset($tmparray);
