In php, you can use array_splice () function to delete the i-th element of the array.

There is such an array:

?>

Delete the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array

array_splice($arr,1,2);
var_dump($arr);

Description:

array_splice() function is used to delete part of the elements of the array; you can delete them directly or replace them with other values.

array_splice() syntax is as follows:

array array_splice ( array &$arr, int $start [, int $length = 0 [, mixed $replacement ]] )

Parameter description:

• arr represents an array.
• start indicates the position (subscript) where deletion starts:
  •           If start is a positive number, delete from front to back.
  •             If start is a negative number, start from the position -start from the end of arr and delete it from the back to the front. For example -2 means start from the second to last element of the array.
• length is an optional parameter, indicating the number of elements to delete:
  •           If length is a positive number, it means deleting length elements;
  •           If length is a negative number, then all elements starting from start and counting down to length at the end of the array will be deleted;
  •                    If omitted, all elements starting at start and ending at the end of the array will be deleted.
• replacement is an optional parameter indicating the value to be replaced. If replacement has multiple values, it needs to be set to an array. If there is only one value, it does not need to be set to an array.

If the combination of start and length results in no element being deleted, then the value contained in replacement will be inserted into the position specified by start.

Note that using replacement to replace array elements will not retain the original key names.

Return value: Returns an array consisting of the deleted elements.
