Ruby can do (using irb)
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :007 > h = {"apple"=>150, "banana"=>300, "lemon"=>300}
=> {"apple"=>150, "banana"=>300, "lemon"=>300}
ruby-1.9.2-p180 :008 > h.delete_if { |k,v| v==300 }
=> {"apple"=>150}
May be we should have something like
array_delete_if($array, function($v, $k=null) { if ($v == 300) return true; })
