Answer 1

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.key.php

function array_key_relative($array, $current_key, $offset = 1) 
{ // create key map $keys = array_keys($array); 
// find current key $current_key_index = array_search($current_key, $keys); 
// return desired offset, if in array, or false if not 
if(isset($keys[$current_key_index + $offset])) 
{ return $keys[$current_key_index + $offset]; } return false; 
}

then use is_int() to check int or string.
