PHP: How to display a value from the first part of a multidimensional array?

Question

I can't figure this out...

How do I display a value from the first part of an array like this:

$payments['plan'][] = array(
    'hours'   => '2 Hours', 
    'price_a' => '90.00',
    'price_b' => '190.00',
);
$payments['plan'][] = array(
    'hours'   => '3 Hours', 
    'price_a' => '110.00',
    'price_b' => '220.00',
);
$payments['plan'][] = array(
    'hours'   => '4 Hours', 
    'price_a' => '120.00',
    'price_b' => '350.00',
);

In the above, let's say I wanted to display -- "90.00" -- how would I get that from the array?

I've tried different variations of reset, done some searching, can't figure this out... just how to display that value from the first part of the array.

Any suggestions?

Doing this:

reset($payments);
echo key($payments['plan']);

I just get the result: "0"

echo $payments['plan'][0]['price_a']; - Take note of example #4 — Mark Baker

Thanks for sending the link, this one thing always fly's right over my head! It's mind boggling to me lol, I feel like foreach loops handle it differently because I never have to add the 0 in those? — Matthew

Key of the first 'block' is 0, so:

echo $payments['plan'][0]['price_a']

just use echo $payments['plan'][0]['price_a'];

Inside a loop, you could use :

foreach($payments['plan'] as $index => $values) {
    echo $values['price_a'];
}
