I have the following:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => 150109 [format] => [safe_value] => 150109 ) ) )
I need to get the value "150109", but how on earth do I accomplish that?

Top level:
print_r($data);
// Output: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => 150109 [format] => [safe_value] => 150109 ) ) )
Outmost element:
print_r($data[0]);
// Output: Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => 150109 [format] => [safe_value] => 150109 ) )
Next level:
print_r($data[0][0]);
// Output: Array ( [value] => 150109 [format] => [safe_value] => 150109 )
The final value
echo $data[0][0]['value'];
// Output: 150109
Accessing each layer of values this way makes it easier to figure out how to get to your desired value. After a while this becomes more obvious.

Only the first one (top level) will actually output someting. So print_r($data); gives me: Array ( [und] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => 150109 [format] => [safe_value] => 150109 ) ) ). This construction looks a bit different from my initial array.

@oivindr Then you have different data than in your example. However, to get the value in that array, you would do
$data['und'][0]['value'].oivindr
Thank you! I need to clean up my code, but it looks like it's working. BTW, I got the first array constructin when I used: print_r(array_values($artnr)); Not sure why they differ.

It should not. Please accept my answer if it solved your problem.

@oivindr Please click the
v under the up/down-votes to this question to mark it as the correct solution. Indicating that this answer helped you makes it easier for people who may have a similar problem in the future.You can use get values of arrays continusly on multidimensional arrays:
$value = $array[0][0]["value"];
$data[0][0]["value"]or$data[0][0]["safe_value"]if the$datais your array
