Is it possible to get the array key name this way?
$array = ("first" => 1);
function f($object)
{
echo(???); //should give first
}
f($array['first']);

It's not possible if you pass only the value into the function like f($object['first']), the key name has no relation to the passed value in that case.
You need to pass the entire array (f($array)) and use:
echo key($object);

I don't really know what you want to get, but I guess this will help you:
$array = array('foo' => 'bar', 'baz' => 'foobar');
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
echo $key . ' = ' . $value . '<br />';
}
This will return
foo = bar
baz = foobar

I would use
$array = ("first" => 1);
function f($object, $key) {
echo($key); // will give first
echo($object[$key]); // will give 1
}
f($array, 'first');
