ISTM you are looking for
$_SESSION['quote'][] = $data;
instead, which automatically increments the index of the item in
$_SESSION['quote']. On the other hand, if the real code was
$_SESSION['quote'][$index] = $items[$index];
you might want to consider simplifying the loop to one statement:
$_SESSION['quote'] = $items;

Consider
unset($_SESSION['quote'][$item_id]);
instead.

After the above, you might want to use
if (!isset($_SESSION['quote'][$item_id])
{
/* Item with $item_id exists */
}
This approach is more precise in combination with is_null().

That is _not_ a question.

There is:

<http://php.net/isset>
<http://php.net/is_null>
