Array_slice with return of sliced elements

I'm removing a set of elements with array slice, from e certain offset to the end.

How can I get the elements that were removed, in a different array?

You just need to use array_slice twice:

$begin = array_slice($array, 0, 5);
$end = array_slice($array, 5);

Now $begin contains the first 5 elements of $array, and $end contains the rest.

array_slice will return an array containing the elements that were removed. You can also use array_diff to find the elements that were not removed.

$original = array('1','2','3','4','5');
$sliced = array_slice($original,1); // 2, 3, 4, 5
$diff = array_diff($original,$sliced); // 1
