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!

Mike
