This seems like such a 'junior with nothing to do' sort of thing to add to PHP; I can
think of no purpose for this. To get first array is always array[0], to get last value is
array[length-1]. For compatibility it will be pretty bad to add right away, as like 99% won't
just update or have 8.5 available. I can only see this be useful in a way like if MySQL has to
return 1 value then you may check with 1 line if it's retrieved; but actually, based on the
logic of those code, you would retrieve it only after checking the result or numeffected rows if
that's a possibility, and bad code will just ignore that and create warnings even in cases when
it's possible. So I see nothing useful here at least for existing code as majorly to maintain
usability you'd want any practical and good code to just get 1st array value for all versions
which is simple for PHP any version.
