I have the following the array:

Array

    [0] => Array
        (
            [content_id] => 2489
            [author_id] => 5
            [category_name] => Customer Experience
            [vanity_url] => launching-reviews-the-decisive-marketing-software-evaluation-platform
            [title] => Launching ‘Reviews’ – the Decisive Marketing Software Evaluation Platform
            [content_image] => 55819897a71ab751db8b552d2d8a0728.jpg
            [info_type] => N
            [publish_date] => 2016-02-16 19:01:00
            [subcat_vanity_url] => customer-experience
        )

    (
        [content_id] => 2407
        [author_id] => 5
        [category_name] => Sales Enablement

    )

        [subcat_vanity_url] => content-marketing
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [content_id] => 2711
        [author_id] => 4880
        [category_name] => Content Marketing
        [vanity_url] => this-is-test-for-single-double-quotes-title

        [content_id] => 
        [author_id] => 
        [category_name] => 
        [vanity_url] =>

        [subcat_vanity_url] => 
    )

    (
        [content_id] => 2407
        [author_id] => 5
        [category_name] => Sales Enablement
        [vanity_url] => 6-steps-required-to-build-an-account-based-marketing-plan

        [publish_date] => 2016-02-08 18:21:00
        [subcat_vanity_url] => sales-enablement
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [content_id] => 2450
        [author_id] => 5

If you want to put some value or make empty to particular array index, use like this;

$array[$indexNo] = '';

To access in-depth value:

$array[$indexNo]['content_id'];
