}
I want to cut the where the id is 1411701737 so I tryed:
foreach($array as $arr => $sub_arr)
{
if $sub_arr['id'] == 1411701737
{
break;
}
}
I know I need to create a whole new array in the foreach, but isn't there maybe a build in function?

Answer 1

$arr_new = array(); //Define a new array
foreach($arr_old as $a) { //Loop through the old one
if($a['id'] === 1411701737) break; //If the value of id matches, leave the foreach loop
$arr_new[] = $a; //Else, copy this array to the new array
}
print_r($arr_new); //Print the new array

Answer 2

$new = array();
foreach($array as $k) {
if($k['id'] == 1411701737) break;
array_push($new, $k);
}
var_dump($new);
The answer by Mooseman is likely a faster way to do this since it does not rely on a PHP function call to place the array into the new array. However unless you are doing this on a set of arrays that is in the 100k+ it really won't matter.
