removing array element + updating keys

[semtex]

I have this array:

$array[0]["ID"] = 3;
$array[0]["name"] = "jan";
$array[1]["ID"] = 5;
$array[1]["name"] = "piet";
$array[2]["ID"] = 6;
$array[2]["name"] = "joris";

I want to search the array for "piet". If it finds "piet", then this is what my array should look like:

$array[0]["ID"] = 3;
$array[0]["name"] = "jan";
$array[1]["ID"] = 6;
$array[1]["name"] = "joris";

So it has to remove all of $array[1], then update the keys so there's no "gaps" in the array.

Can this be done?

A simple linear search would suffice, e.g.,

for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); ++$i)
{
    if ($array[$i]['name'] == 'piet')
    {
        array_splice($array, $i, 1);
        break;
    }
}
