pulling out a string from an array?

I have this array from $_POST:

Array ( [limit] => 30 [limitstart] => 0 [pid] => Array ( [0] => 6 ) [option] => com_jobline [task] => edit [boxchecked] => 1 )

I need to pull out the record id which in this case is the '6'. Do I use Array Slice?

Any ideas? I need to take the number and then do a mysql query with it.

You mean like array[3]?

That sort of worked. This is what I have working now:

foreach ($_POST['pid'] as $jobid) {
echo $jobid;
}

$_POST['pid'] gets me the nested array the id number is in and then I did a foreach loop to output the actual number.

Is there a more efficient way to do this?

You could write:

if (isset($_POST['pid'][0])) {
    echo $_POST['pid'][0];
}
