you can do with unset

unset($cars[2]);

But after that you need to iterate array with foreach

If you follow this up by doing $cars = array_filter($cars) it will remove the empty array items as well. :)
What happens if "volvo" is array item 3?
@Merjin What do you mean by "empty array item"?
Whoops. I meant 'empty strings' but I just tried and unset also removes the item from the array. No empty spaces left to trim, so ignore my other comment.
Thanks, @Gordon I used what rights I got right now.

You can use the following thing to delete the x element from array

array_splice($cars,2,1)

This will delete the 2nd element in array and return the remaining array, if you want more elemetns to be deleted change 1 to number of elements that needs to be deleted.
