unset

You could reindex the array but it's simpler to learn to walk the array:

while (list($key,$value)=each($myarray) {
    // do stuff
    // $key will be the index of each set element
    // $value will the be the value of that element, natch

} // end while

Yes, you're using a lot of lines to do a little code.  It's simpler to use one
echo and use double quotes throughout.

echo "<a href=\"$somevalue\">$sometext</a>\n";

You can even span lines if it gets long:

echo "<a href=\"$somevalue\">$sometext
and some more text</a>\n";

kind regards,
