PHP: How to get an array's value by its numeric offset if it's an associative array?

arrays, php

Solution

You can run the array through `array_values()`:

$myarray = array_values( $myarray);

Now your array looks like:

array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(2) {
    ["type"]=>
    string(6) "tumblr"
    ["url"]=>
    string(18) "http://tumblr.com/"
  } ...

This is because `array_values()` will only grab the values from the array and reset / reorder / rekey the array as a numeric array.

Problem

I have an associative array which when var dumped looks like this: ``` Array ( [tumblr] => Array ( [type] => tumblr [url] => http://tumblr.com/ ) [twitter] => Array ( [type] => twitter [url] => https://twitter.com/ ) ) ``` As you can see the key's are custom "tumblr" and "twitter" and not numeric 0 and 1. Some times I need to get the values by the custom keys and sometimes I need to get values by numeric keys. Is there anyy way I can get `$myarray[0]` to output: ``` ( [type] => tumblr [url] => http://tumblr.com/ ) ```
