Get first element Array in for loop

I am trying to retrieve the last names of the orders placed.

code:

for ($x = 0; $x < 25; ++$x) {

    if (($orders[$x]['paymentStatus'] == 'paid') || ($orders[$x]['paymentIsPost'] == TRUE)) {

        echo '<pre>';
        print_r($orders[$x]['lastname']);
        echo '</pre>';

    }
}

question: code is not showing me the first lastname in the array actually the name that is in position $orders[0]. I thought that pre-incrementing the variable like this ++$x like this would solve the problem. To bad thats not the case. Any tips?

Update output:

[1]""
[2]""
[3]""
[4]""
[5]""

Not sharing lastnames, which is also not relevant.

try the following to confirm which element of the array you are displaying (and the value of $x

 for($x = 0; $x < 25 ; $x++){
      if(($orders[$x]['paymentStatus'] == 'paid') || ($orders[$x]['paymentIsPost'] == true)){
           echo '<pre>';
           --print_r($orders[$x]['lastname']);
           echo '['.$x.']'.$orders[$x]['lastname'];
           echo '</pre>';
      }
 }
