If you're always taking the first element, why not use array_shift?

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.array-shift.php

array_shift() shifts the first value of the array off and returns it,
shortening the array by one element and moving everything down. All
numerical array keys will be modified to start counting from zero while
literal keys won't be touched. If array is empty (or is not an array),
NULL will be returned.
