A proper one-liner polyfill for version < 7.3:
<?php
function array_key_first((array) $a)
{
return array_keys($a)[0];
}
array_key_first
(PHP 7 >= 7.3.0, PHP 8)
array_key_first — Gets the first key of an array
Descrizione

the internal array pointer.
Elenco dei parametri

Example #1 Basic array_key_first() Usage
<?php
$array = ['a' => 1, 'b' => 2, 'c' => 3];
$firstKey = array_key_first($array);
var_dump($firstKey);
?>Il precedente esempio visualizzerà:
string(1) "a"
Note
Suggerimento
There are several ways to provide this functionality for versions prior to PHP 7.3.0. It is possible to use array_keys(), but that may be rather inefficient. It is also possible to use reset() and key(), but that may change the internal array pointer. An efficient solution, which does not change the internal array pointer, written as polyfill:
<?php
if (!function_exists('array_key_first')) {
function array_key_first(array $arr) {
foreach($arr as $key => $unused) {
return $key;
}
return NULL;
}
}

- reset() - Reimposta il puntatore interno di un array sulla posizione iniziale

Another way to get first array key with PHP older than 7.3.
<?php
$array = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
$array2 = ['one' => 'Number one', 'two' => 'Number two'];
reset($array);// go to first array
echo key($array);// get its key (first array)
// expect 0.
reset($array2);
echo key($array2);
// expect one.

One-liner polyfill (php version < 7.3.0)
<?php
function array_key_first(array $array)
{
return key(array_slice($array, 0, 1));
}
