How can we achieve this ? Thing to note is that we can have many layers of ‘3242524621’ like numbers which are associative array.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This will set $new_array to the first value of $original_array no matter what the key is.

 function get_first($original_array)
 {
    foreach($original_array as $array)
    {
        return $array;
    }
}
$array = get_first($other_array);

You could also try array_shift() which will get the first value of $original_array, remove if from $original_array and return it, thus that the removed value is now set to $new_array

$new_array = array_shift($original_array);

You could probably make another function similar to the top one that would get rid of the destructive element.

function get_first($array)
{
    return array_shift($array);
}

Because arrays are passed by value and not reference, the array you pass into that function will remain intact.
