You could also use SPL FilterIterator like this:

class IndexFilter extends FilterIterator {
    public function __construct (array $data) {
        parent::__construct(new ArrayIterator($data));
    }   

    public function accept () {
        # return even keys only
        return !($this->key() % 2);
    }     
}

$arr      = array('string1', 'string2', 'string3', 'string4');
$filtered = array();

foreach (new IndexFilter($arr) as $key => $value) {
    $filtered[$key] = $value;
}

print_r($filtered);
