Question

I have a for-each loop, within for-each loop

similar to:

 foreach ($arr1 as $v1) {
     foreach ($v1 as $v2) {
          [ processing goes here ]
     }
 }

Now I need to processing only for first outer loop, not for every other time.

How can I do it?

Answer 1

$clone = $arr1;   // clone for future use
foreach (array_shift($clone) as $v2) {   // loop for first element of clone of $arr1, if starting index is known, $arr1[0] can be used instead of array_shift($clone)
          [ processing goes here ]
     }
