can I see your code implementation? and what error did you get? — adrianriyadi, Jan 11 '19 at 16:06
this is what happens when i tried that second method https://pasteboard.co/HVYjcLB.png — Ruzaik Nazeer, Jan 11 '19 at 16:09
change `Session::push('families', $families);` to `Session::put('families', $families);` please — adrianriyadi, Jan 11 '19 at 16:15
Actually, using `pull` function will also work (which is the first method). But since I dont know your complete code I prefer to use the second method. By the way, you're welcome — adrianriyadi, Jan 11 '19 at 16:27
yeah i'm using the second method now "push" was the reason behind this anyhow thank you once again — Ruzaik Nazeer, Jan 11 '19 at 16:31

This is to do it using PHP array_search function:

$families = session()->pull('families', []);
    if(($key = array_search($deleteID, $families)) !== false) {
        unset($families[$key]);
    }
session()->put('families', $families);
// PS: specify index you want to remove on $deleteID variable

or more simple way:

$index = 0; // let's say it's index 0
$families = Session::get('families'); // save the array
unset($families[$index]); // remove value from array based on index
Session::put('families', $families); // set the array again
// PS: specify index you want to remove on $index variable
