Last update on December 20 2024 10:17:29 (UTC/GMT +8 hours)

Write a PHP script to remove all white spaces in an array.

Sample Solution:

PHP Code:

<?php
// Original array with various values including null, empty strings, and whitespace
$my_array = array(15, null, "  ", -2, NULL, "", " \n", "Red", 54, "\t");

// Print the original array
print_r($my_array);

// Use array_filter with a custom callback function to create a new array filtering out values that are considered empty
$result = array_filter($my_array, create_function('$x', 'return preg_match("#\S#", $x);'));

// Print the new array with non-empty values
print_r($result);

?>

Output:

Array                                                       
(                                                           
    [0] => 15                                               
    [1] =>                                                  
    [2] =>                                                  
    [3] => -2                                               
    [4] =>                                                  
    [5] =>                                                  
    [6] =>                                                  
                                                            
    [7] => Red                                              
    [8] => 54                                               
    [9] =>                                                  
)                                                           
Array                                                       
(                                                           
    [0] => 15                                               
    [3] => -2                                               
    [7] => Red                                              
    [8] => 54                                               
)
