Hi,

Then don't use filter, but use unset() on the elements you want to delete.

$arr = array(
"one" => array(1,"yes","no"),
"two" => 23,
"something" => array(array(1,2,3),55)
);

if you want to delete the 55:
unset ($arr["something"][1]);

if you want to delete the whole "something":
unset ($arr["something"]);

etc.

But without more information, this might be irrelevant. ;-)
