You have an array or arrays, you CAN'T remove the outer array without losing the entire set? — Fluffeh

Hello please specify the output of array using print_r() function so that we can identify the structure of array — Rubin Porwal

You could try using var_dump on the content of your initial array, using a foreach loop :

foreach ($initial_array as $second_array){
var_dump($second_array);
}

You can use reset() function to remove outer array.

Eg:

<?php
$outer_array = array(0 => array(
                            'key1' => 'value1',
                            'key2' => 'value2'
 ));

$new_array = reset($outer_array);
print_r($new_array);
?>
