The except
helper method will return all the key/value pairs of the $array
where the keys in the original array are not in the $keys
array.
The signature for the except
helper method is:
except($array, $keys)
Assuming that the $_POST
super-global contains the following information:
1array(3) {
2 ["first_name"] "John"
3 ["last_name"] "Doe"
4 ["password"] "some_password"
5}
We could easily get all the information except for the password
like so:
1<?php
2
3use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
4
5$inputData = Arr::except($_POST, 'password');
$inputData
would then contain the following items:
1array(2) {
2 ["first_name"] "John"
3 ["last_name"] "Doe"
4}
When passing a single item, such as password
, for the $keys
parameter, it will be converted to an array automatically.
Passing an array would look like this:
1<?php
2
3use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
4
5// This would only return an array with the user's `last_name`.
6$inputData = Arr::except($_POST, ['password', 'first_name']);
#array_except($array, $keys)
The array_except
function is a shortcut to calling Arr::except
. This function is declared in the global namespace.
