How to get next element in array

Question

When I dump my array I revieve records. I'd like to stop forear if condition is met and move index to the next element but I dont understand something. I use:

    foreach ($this->pages[0] as $key => $val){
        if ($key == 2){
            dump($val);
        }   
    }

after dump($this->pages[0]) I recieve array

Array
(
    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => Wstęp
            [symbol] => wstep
        )
    [5] => Array
        (
            [id] => 5
            [name] => Prezentacja spółki
            [symbol] => prezentacja-spolki
        )
)

dump($val) returns

Array
    (
        [id] => 2
        [name] => Wstęp
        [symbol] => wstep
    )

an the problem is when I try move to next element in array using

dump(next($val));

returns

Prezentacja spółki

Hov to properly move to pointer to naxt element in array ?

I don't know exactly what you want to do but if you want the next value in the array you are currently looping through, I think you would need to call next on that array. So... next($this->pages[0]) — Cave Johnson

If you want the foreach loop to skip directly to the next element. you can use:

continue;

In a foreach loop you use continue to stop the current element process and advance to the next element

foreach ($this->pages[0] as $key => $val){
    if ($key == 2){
        continue; // Go to the next element
    }   
}

To stop the loop entirely, use break instead of continue

So you want to stop the loop entirely?

Yes, becouse I'd like to reach some next element in array depends on changing condition.

I resolved it by:

foreach ($this->pages[0] as $key => $val){                 if ($key == $_GET['page_id']){                     $myCond = true;                     continue;                 }                    if ($myCond == true) {                     dump(($val));                     break;                 }             }
