Well, two possibilities off the top of my head: foreach($cdata as $key=>$value) { $n = 0; foreach ($value as $inner_key=>$inner_value) { if ($n++) { // do stuff with $inner_key and $inner_value } } } Or: foreach($cdata as $key=>$value) { $date_element = array_shift($value); // $date_element now contains original first element of $value // $value now contains remaining elements // do whatever you want with them here } Cheers!
