What are some common challenges faced when trying to delete elements from multidimensional arrays in PHP?

When trying to delete elements from multidimensional arrays in PHP, one common challenge is ensuring that the keys of the remaining elements are not affected. One way to solve this is by using the unset() function to remove the element without affecting the keys of other elements in the array. 

// Sample multidimensional array
$multiArray = array(
    'first' => array('a', 'b', 'c'),
    'second' => array('x', 'y', 'z')
);

// Delete the second element from the 'first' array
unset($multiArray['first'][1]);

// Output the modified array
print_r($multiArray);
