How to remove empty objects from array PHP Laravel 8.0.x

Question

I have an array, I just want to remove all empty objects from the array. Here is my array.

{
    "tags": [
        {
            "tags": [
                "php tutorial",
                "php tutorial in hindi"
            ]
        },
        {
            "tags": [
                "php",
                "php tutorial",
                "php tutorial for beginners",
            ]
        },
        {},
        {},
        {
            "tags": [
                "HTML",
                "CSS",
                "JavaScript",
            ]
        },
        {},
        {}
    ]
}

I only want to auto-remove all of empty {} from my tags array. Thanks

You should first decode the json using json_decode() then use array_filter() method on. It will filter empty values of the array.

array_filter( json_decode($your_array) )

Here i got an error : json_decode(): Argument #1 ($json) must be of type string, array given

I thought your input is a json. So, if it's an array, just use array_filter( $your_array )

same results even after doing that.

What is the type of your input? String(json) or php array?

So, you can simply use array_filter() method. Read about it here
