array_splice()

If you use array_splice() the keys will be automatically reindexed, but the associative keys won’t change opposed to array_values() which will convert all keys to numerical keys.

Also array_splice() needs the offset, not the key!, as second parameter.

Code

<?php

    $array = array(0 => "a", 1 => "b", 2 => "c");
    array_splice($array, 1, 1);
                       //↑ Offset which you want to delete

?>

Output

Array (
    [0] => a
    [1] => c
)

array_splice() same as unset() take the array by reference, this means you don’t want to assign the return values of those functions back to the array.
