Get array value with unknown key name

Question

If I have an associate array with only one key and one element myArray =array("myKey"=>123), but I don't know the name of the key, how do I get the value? For instance, if I don't know my key is called myKey, how do I return 123? I know I can use foreach($myArray as $key=>$value) but I feel there should be a better way.

Answer 1

You can use current():

$value = current($array);

or, if you want the key as well, each():

list($key, $value) = each($array);

Answer 2

Alternatively in my case, I also needed the keyname.

$key = key($array);

$value = $array[$key];

Get the key name from array then use the key to get the value from array.
