Is it possible to add a function which strips out all parts of an array which don't have a value?  I ask this simply because I'm trying to array_diff a submitted form against a set of required fields, and my test machine (Win2K/IE5) sends all empty form elements over in an array (I use NAME="FormData[Bar]", NAME="FormData[Baz]", etc) with empty values, and PHP puts them into my form array.

It'd be great if I could say "array_strip_empty($myarray)" and PHP took out all values which are "" (empty)

Thanks,


~ZG~

just in case you were wondering why your question was a support stuff:
eliminating empty values from an array is a one-liner with today's capabilities. 
no reason to add this function.
