map_delete - remove a (key, value) pair from a mapping based on the key void map_delete( mapping m, mixed element ); map_delete removes the (key, value) from the mapping m that has key equal to element. For example, given: <pre> mapping names; names = ([]); names["truilkan"] = "john"; names["wayfarer"] = "erik"; names["jacques"] = "dwayne"; </pre> Then: <pre> map_delete(names,"truilkan"); </pre> causes the mapping 'names' to be equal to: <pre> (["wayfarer" : "erik", "jacques" : "dwayne"]) </pre> keys(names) will not contain "truilkan" after map_delete(names,"truilkan") is called [unless ("truilkan", *) is subsequently added back to the mapping].
