Remove the first element from a multidimensional array with PHP

Question

Form this array, how can I remove the first element of Provinces ?

Array
(
    [Country] => Canada
    [Provinces] => Array
        (
            [0] => Quebec
            [1] => Ontario
            [2] => British Columbia
        )
)

If you want to remove the first items in the array for the key name Provinces and the numerical keys do not have to be preserved, you could also use array_splice:

$arr = [
    "Country" => "Canada",
    "Provinces" => [
        "Quebec",
        "Ontario",
        "British Columbia"
    ]
];
array_splice($arr["Provinces"], 0, 1);

Or using unset to keep the numerical keys:

unset($arr['Provinces'][0]);
