I have a PHP array being created from a .csv file, the resulting array has data that I have no use for so I would like to cleanup the array before proceeding.

array (size=45)
  0 => 
    array (size=63)
      '"Unique ID"' => string '3585370' (length=7)
      'Source ID' => string '242' (length=3)
      'Source Date' => string '20/9/18 12:08:22 AM' (length=19)
      'Email' => string 'email@email.com' (length=3)

How can I remove "Source Date" and "Source ID" from the array of each record?

With `unset` function? – u_mulder Sep 20 '18 at 10:33

I'd be more worried about array keys with quotes in them - gets confusing at times. – Nigel Ren Sep 20 '18 at 10:35
I would suggest **NOT adding irrelevant data** from the CSV file to your array in the first place! – RiggsFolly Sep 20 '18 at 10:35

`unset($array[$key])` or `unset($array[$i])` where `$i` is the position the array. – Daniel Williams Sep 20 '18 at 10:36

You could also use ```array_map``` with ```unset```. The question was closed so I can't post an example without bloating this comment, but here is a [pastebin](https://pastebin.com/Bhm2iHwv) – Kyrre Sep 20 '18 at 10:42
