我认为最简单的方法是使用带有foreach循环的函数:

//This functions deletes the elements of an array $original that are equivalent to the value $del_val
//The function works by reference, which means that the actual array used as parameter will be modified.

function delete_value(&$original, $del_val)
{
    //make a copy of the original, to avoid problems of modifying an array that is being currently iterated through
    $copy = $original;
    foreach ($original as $key => $value)
    {
        //for each value evaluate if it is equivalent to the one to be deleted, and if it is capture its key name.
        if($del_val === $value) $del_key[] = $key;
    };
    //If there was a value found, delete all its instances
    if($del_key !== null)
    {
        foreach ($del_key as $dk_i)
        {
            unset($original[$dk_i]);
        };
        //optional reordering of the keys. WARNING: only use it with arrays with numeric indexes!
        /*
        $copy = $original;
        $original = array();
        foreach ($copy as $value) {
            $original[] = $value;
        };
        */
        //the value was found and deleted
        return true;
    };
    //The value was not found, nothing was deleted
    return false;
};

$original = array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,4);
$del_val = 4;
var_dump($original);
delete_value($original, $del_val);
var_dump($original);

输出将是:

array(9) {
  [0]=>
  int(0)
  [1]=>
  int(1)
  [2]=>
  int(2)
  [3]=>
  int(3)
  [4]=>
  int(4)
  [5]=>
  int(5)
  [6]=>
  int(6)
  [7]=>
  int(7)
  [8]=>
  int(4)
}
array(7) {
  [0]=>
  int(0)
  [1]=>
  int(1)
  [2]=>
  int(2)
  [3]=>
  int(3)
  [5]=>
  int(5)
  [6]=>
  int(6)
  [7]=>
  int(7)
}

从数组中删除一个元素基本上就是设置一个元素的差异。

array_diff( [312, 401, 15, 401, 3], [401] ) // removing 401 returns [312, 15, 3]

它很好地泛化了，你可以同时删除任意多的元素，如果你想的话。

免责声明:请注意，我的解决方案产生了一个新的数组副本，同时保持旧的完整，与变异的接受答案形成对比。选一个你需要的。

在PHP 7.4中使用箭头函数:

$messages = array_filter($messages, fn ($m) => $m != $del_val);

为了保持它是一个非关联数组，用array_values()来包装它:

$messages = array_values(array_filter($messages, fn ($m) => $m != $del_val));

借用了underscore.JS _的逻辑。拒绝并创建了两个函数(人们更喜欢函数!!)

array_reject_value:该函数简单地拒绝指定的值(也适用于PHP4,5,7)

function array_reject_value(array &$arrayToFilter, $deleteValue) {
    $filteredArray = array();

    foreach ($arrayToFilter as $key => $value) {
        if ($value !== $deleteValue) {
            $filteredArray[] = $value;
        }
    }

    return $filteredArray;
}

array_reject:这个函数只是拒绝可调用方法(适用于PHP >=5.3)

function array_reject(array &$arrayToFilter, callable $rejectCallback) {

    $filteredArray = array();

    foreach ($arrayToFilter as $key => $value) {
        if (!$rejectCallback($value, $key)) {
            $filteredArray[] = $value;
        }
    }

    return $filteredArray;
}

所以在我们当前的例子中，我们可以像下面这样使用上述函数:

$messages = [312, 401, 1599, 3, 6];
$messages = array_reject_value($messages, 401);

或者甚至更好:(因为这给了我们更好的语法使用，比如array_filter)

$messages = [312, 401, 1599, 3, 6];
$messages = array_reject($messages, function ($value) {
    return $value === 401;
});

上面的代码可以用于更复杂的事情，比如我们想要删除所有大于或等于401的值，我们可以简单地这样做:

$messages = [312, 401, 1599, 3, 6];
$greaterOrEqualThan = 401;
$messages = array_reject($messages, function ($value) use $greaterOrEqualThan {
    return $value >= $greaterOrEqualThan;
});

根据您的要求“每个值只能出现一次”，如果您只是想在数组中保持唯一的值，那么array_unique()可能就是您正在寻找的。

输入:

$input = array(4, "4", "3", 4, 3, "3");
$result = array_unique($input);
var_dump($result);

结果:

array(2) {
  [0] => int(4)
  [2] => string(1) "3"
}

$fields = array_flip($fields);
unset($fields['myvalue']);
$fields = array_flip($fields);
