Answer 1

I actually use a convenience function i wrote for such purposes:

/**
 * Grabs an element from an array using a key much like array_pop
 */
function array_key_value($array, $key) {
    if(!empty($array) && array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
        return $array[$key];
    }
    else {
        return FALSE;
    }
}

then you just call it like so:

$result = array_key_value(getMeAnArray(), 'arrayKey');
