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

Answer 1

You can try this.

To get first value of the array :-

 'bar', 'hello' => 'world');
   var_dump(current($large_array));
?>

To get the first key of the array

 'bar', 'hello' => 'world');
   $large_array_keys = array_keys($large_array);
   var_dump(array_shift($large_array_keys));
?>
