I am building a shopping cart for my website. I am having trouble removing items from the cart. Here are two lines of code:

Code

array_push($_SESSION['cart'], array($SKU,$quantity));
$_SESSION['cart'] = array_diff($_SESSION['cart'], array($SKU,$quantity));

In this test, an array of SKU/Quantity should be added, then removed in the next line. However the array is being added and NOT removed. What am I doing wrong in my remove line?

I am having trouble removing items from the cart. I only put these lines next to each other for an example. I want to be able to add an item to the cart(working). Then later be able to remove an item from the cart(not working).

Solution:

Code

function rem_from_array(&$session_array, $name)
{
foreach($session_array as $key=>$elem)
{
if($elem[0]==$name)
{
unset($session_array[$key]);
}
}
}

Code

rem_from_array($_SESSION['cart'],$SKU);
