A polyfill serves the purpose of retroactively incorporating new features from PHP releases into older PHP versions, ensuring API compatibility.In PHP 7.3.0, the array_key_first() function was introduced, demonstrated in the following example:<?php$array = [ 'first_key' => 'first_value', 'second_key' => 'second_value',];var_dump(array_key_first($array));?>The provided polyfill in this documentation allows the convenient use of array_key_first() with API compatibility in PHP versions preceding PHP 7.3.0, where the function was not implemented:<?phpif (!function_exists('array_key_first')) { function array_key_first(array $arr) { foreach ($arr as $key => $unused) { return $key; } return null; }}$array = [ 'first_key' => 'first_value', 'second_key' => 'second_value',];var_dump(array_key_first($array));?>
