reset($array); list(, $value) = each($array); this will give you first value in $value

...and according to http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.reset.php reset() returns the first element of the array, so you could shorten this to $value = reset($array); But if you need the key value as well, you (I think) WILL have to do it _lallous' way: reset($array); list($key, $value) = each($array); For more info, see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php -steve

Hello, I have an array sent to my script that starts at different numbers each time. Here is an example $array[5] through $array[23] will have values but [0]-[4] will not. Is there a way for me to find the first element of an array with a value?
