I need to remove above array if array[1] ,array[2].. is empty or count '0' means its should be remove or if any other solution to avoid to read empty rows using phpexcel in laravel.

Answer 1

Try this..
$data="your array";
for($i=0;$i<count($data);$i++)
{
$countstring=count(array_filter($data[$i]));
if($countstring==0)
{
unset($data[$i]); // remove empty array
} else {
$finaldata[] =$data[$i]; //get non empty array
}
}
print_r($finaldata);
