try this, untested, on the fly type solution. :)
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if (strlen($value) > 0) {
$FirstWithValue = $key;
break;
}
}
Now, $FirstWithValue should hold the key of the first element, so you could
then use $array[$FirstWithValue]
if you are using php older than version 4, exchange the foreach loop with a
while loop.
