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.
#Signature
The signature of the except
method is:
1public static function except(
2 $array,
3 $keys
4);
#Example Use
The following examples assume that the $_POST
super-global contains the following information:
1array {
2 ["first_name"] "John"
3 ["last_name"] "Doe"
4 ["password"] "some_password"
5}
We could easily get all the information except for the password
like so:
1use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
2
3$inputData = Arr::except($_POST, 'password');
$inputData
would then contain the following items:
1array {
2 ["first_name"] "John"
3 ["last_name"] "Doe"
4}
When passing a single item, such as password
, for the $keys
parameter, it will be converted to an array automatically.
Passing an array would look like this:
1use Illuminate\Support\Arr;
2
3// This would only return an array with the user's `last_name`.
4$inputData = Arr::except($_POST, ['password', 'first_name']);
#Global array_except
Helper Function
The array_except
function is a shortcut to calling Arr::except
. This function is declared in the global namespace.
