How to properly delete an element from an array in PHP and reindex keys? Problems with unset()

Hello everyone! I'm a beginner in PHP and encountered a problem when deleting elements from an array. I have an array with user names: ```php $users = ['Anna', 'Ivan', 'Maria', 'Peter']; ``` I need to delete the second element (Ivan). I read that the `unset()` function is used for this, and wrote the following code: ```php unset($users[1]); print_r($users); ``` But the result really surprised me! Instead of an array with three elements (keys 0, 1, 2), I got: ``` Array ( [0] => Anna [2] => Maria [3] => Peter ) ``` The keys became non-sequential: 0, 2, 3. When trying to iterate with `for` using `count($users)`, I skip the element with key 2. I also tried to delete an element by value rather than by key — for example, delete all users with the name "Maria". How can this be done?
