How to call first array element in smarty

Question

I have associative array:

 Array ( [7] => Array ( [media_id] => 7 ) Array ( [8] => Array ( [media_id] =>      8 ) Array ( [5] => Array ( [media_id] => 5 ) Array ( [18] => Array ( [media_id] => 18 ) 

I need to call only the first element with smarty template engine.

Answer 1

You should reset the array once again.

$arrayNew=reset($arrayOld);
$value=$arrayNew[0];

value will return the first element.

Answer 2

Try this:

{$arrayVar|@array_shift}
