How can unset() be used to delete specific elements in a simpleXML object?

To delete specific elements in a SimpleXML object using unset(), you need to access the element you want to delete and then unset it. This can be done by using the unset() function on the element within the SimpleXML object. 

// Load the XML file into a SimpleXML object
$xml = simplexml_load_file('data.xml');

// Access the specific element you want to delete
unset($xml->elementToDelete);

// Save the modified XML back to a file
$xml->asXML('data.xml');
