How can I remove an element from an array?
For example:
$data = Array('first' , 'second' , 'third');
array_delete($data[2]);
#$data would now read Array('first', 'second')
Does such a built-in function exist? Thanks.

Use the unset method:
unset($data[2]);

The above answers work. But here is what i got from the site listed below. I think its cool.
//deletes a number on index $idx in array and returns the new array
function array_delete($idx,$array) {
unset($array[$idx]);
return (is_array($array)) ? array_values($array) : null;
}

yeah, returning the record deleted is nice... much like splice in javascript (there's an extra param which says how many items to delete)
