php - putting the array data into separate variables -

i trying put array data 2 separate variables. not getting it. here code

if($option_query->row['type'] == 'date') {     $array1[0] = $option_value;      foreach ($array1 $key => $value) {         echo "$key = $value<br>";     } 

now getting result :

0 = 2013-05-05 0 = 2013-05-07  

i want put 1st date in variable called datestart , 2nd date in dateend. how can achieve this?

output var_dump(array1);

array (size=1)   0 => string '2013-05-05' (length=10) array (size=2)   0 => string '2013-05-05' (length=10)   1 => string '2013-05-07' (length=10)

i echoed , got o/p

2013-05-20 2013-05-30 

it works!!!!!

there's no need loop, if you've array like

$arr = array('1/2/2010', '2/2/2012');  $start_date = $arr[0]; //assigning 1st index var $end_date = $arr[1]; //assigning 2nd index var 

update : array nested array, need use this

<?php     $arr = array( //assuming should map of array         array(             '2013-05-05'         ),         array(             '2013-05-05',             '2013-05-07'         )     );      var_dump($arr);      echo $arr[1][0];     echo $arr[1][1]; ?>
