Using Arr::except() in Laravel 11.x

In Laravel 11, `Arr::except()` is a helper function provided by Illuminate\Support\Arr. It allows you to remove specific keys from an array while keeping the rest of the data intact.

Syntax

Arr::except(array $array, array|string $keys): array

`$array`: The original array.
`$keys`: The key or an array of keys to exclude.

1. Removing a Single Key

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;

$data = [
'name' => 'John',
'email' => 'john@example.com',
'age' => 30
];

$result = Arr::except($data, 'email');

print_r($result);

Output:

Array
(
[name] => John
[age] => 30
)

Here, `’email’` is removed from the array.

2. Removing Multiple Keys

use Illuminate\Support\Arr;

$data = [
'name' => 'John',
'email' => 'john@example.com',
'age' => 30,
'city' => 'New York'
];

$result = Arr::except($data, ['email', 'city']);

print_r($result);

Output:

Array
(
[name] => John
[age] => 30
)
