Getting the array index in a foreach loop

Question

So I may just be completely overcomplicating this for myself but I am trying to get the index of an array in a multidimensional array.

Hopefully showing it makes more sense.

Array
(
    [1234] => Array
        (
            [Name]  => Test
        )
    [5435]  => Array
        (
            [Name]  => Test
        )
)

I have a large array with different numbers as the index and I need to do a foreach through them, but I need that index number. (1234,5435)

Is there any easy way of doing this?

come on. it is in the manual on the most top part! [foreach](http://php.net/manual/de/control-structures.foreach.php) — Michael Walter, Jul 19 '13 at 14:20
Glad you have found StackOverflow, Scott, and you did write a formal good question. But really, this is something that you could have found with a quick search on google, here, or php.net — cypherabe, Jul 19 '13 at 14:24
Honestly I knew how to do ($arr as $key=>$val) but I just completely overcomplicated the situation for myself and didn't think it all the way though and feel like an idiot now. — Scott, Jul 19 '13 at 14:25

Yes there is.

foreach ($arr as $key=>$val)
{
    //do stuff
}

The $key is the key you need
