How to get the first item from an associative PHP array?

Question

If I had an array like:

$array[\'foo\'] = 400;
$array[\'bar\'] = \'xyz\';

And I wanted to get the first item out of that array without knowing

Answer 1

We can do $first = reset($array);

Instead of

reset($array);
$first = current($array);

As reset()

returns the first element of the array after reset;
