Echoing value from array in codeigniter

Question

Sorry guys this is probably quite simple but I've got really stuck... I have an array - $forms which using var_dump looks like this:

array (size=1)
  'forms' => 
    array (size=3)
      0 => 
        array (size=2)
          'form_id' => string '3' (length=1)
          'form_name' => string 'another_form_to_test' (length=20)
      1 => 
        array (size=2)
          'form_id' => string '1' (length=1)
          'form_name' => string 'contact_name_changed' (length=20)
      2 => 
        array (size=2)
          'form_id' => string '2' (length=1)
          'form_name' => string 'test_form' (length=9)

I am using codeigniter and want to simply echo a value from this array, such as the third 'form_name' - I've tried lots of different things but nothing works... I thought it would be:

echo $forms['2']['form_name'];

I did not downvote.. But the key is should not be a string. Strange that the upvoted answer is identical.. Edit the key to a int for a upvote.

No idea other then the index being a string, could you edit it to echo $forms['forms'][2]['form_name'];

you can try this one

<?php 
foreach($forms['forms'] as $form)
{
    echo $form['form_name'];
}
?>

You are missing the first level of array

echo $forms['forms'][2]['form_name'];
