PHP - Grab the first element using a foreach


php foreach iteration

Yes, if you are not able to go through the object in a different way (a normal for loop), just use a conditional in this case:

$first = true;foreach ( $obj as $value ){    if ( $first )    {        // do something        $first = false;    }    else    {        // do something    }    // do something}

php foreach iteration

Even morer eleganterer:

foreach($array as $index => $value) { if ($index == 0) {      echo $array[$index]; }}

That example only works if you use PHP's built-in array append features/function or manually specify keys in proper numerical order.

Here's an approach that is not like the others listed here that should work via the natural order of any PHP array.

$first = array_shift($array);//do stuff with $firstforeach($array as $elem) { //do stuff with rest of array elements}array_unshift($array, $first);     //return first element to top

php foreach iteration

You can simply add a counter to the start, like so:

$i = 0;foreach($arr as $a){ if($i == 0) { //do ze business } //the rest $i++;}
