Selecting data from var_dump?

I ran a var_dump on my variable that is a list of information, here is the result of the var_dump

array(2) { ["name"]=> string(3) "top" ["value"]=> string(4) "100%" }
array(2) { ["name"]=> string(4) "left" ["value"]=> string(3) "Gus" }
array(2) { ["name"]=> string(4) "text" ["value"]=> string(4) "Hank" }

How do I get the value of the [name] => "top" ([value] here is 100%)so on and so forth?

Here is the PHP

foreach ($field['options'] as $key => $value) {
                    echo '<div style="color: #fff;">';
                    echo '<li style="color: #fff;">'.var_dump ($value).'</li>';
                    echo '</div>';
                }

To get "top" I tried $value['top'] just like $field['options'] gets the options array, how do I break it down to get each speific option?

You mis-use var_dump($value) .

Assume $field['options'] is the array you var_dump at the beginning, you can just use $value['name'] instead of var_dump($value).

To find specific value, use something like if($value['name'] === 'top') in the foreach loop

Sidenote: The function var_dump() is to print the variable content. To get it inline / into a variable, use var_export($variable, true).

Use $value['name'] and $value['value'] to get the respective values.
