Question

How is it possible to perform a foreach function without doing a loop for example

foreach($result['orders'] as $order) {

But I don’t want to do a foreach I want something like

$result['orders'] == $order;

Or something like that instead of doing it inside an loop because $result['orders'] is only returning 1 result anyway so I don’t see the point in doing it in a loop.

Thank you

You can get the first (and apparently only) element in the array with any array function that gets an element from the array, e.g. array_pop() or array_shift():

$order = array_shift( $result['orders']);

Or list():

list( $order) = $result['orders'];

Or, if you know it’s numerically indexed, access it directly:

$order = $results['orders'][0];
