Get first element of array as array?

Question

From this array:

array(3) { 
    ["news_status"]=> string(1) "1" 
    ["news_input_title"]=> string(10) "test title" 
    ["news_input_description"]=> string(61) "<p>test description over 20 symbols<br></p>" 
}

I want to get

["news_status"]=> string(1) "1"

but to look exactly same (to be array(1)), something like this :

array(1) { 
    ["news_status"]=> string(1) "1" 
}

most functions like reset, current get only value ..

foreach ($this->request->post as $key => $value){ $ss[$key] = $value; break; } i try with this but it's not very good, i think — MorganFreeFarm

$result = array_slice($array, 0, 1, true); This is a pretty strange thing to want to do though - if you always want the first element, then you must know which key it is, or it wouldn't be any use. — iainn

Try $first_element = array_slice( $myArray , 0 , 1 )
