how to display specific value from array fetched from database codeigniter

I'm new to Codeignitor. My senior had previously used the following code to retrieve an array from a database. It retrieves all of the items in the database, but I only want the first one, Please Help:

 <?php $custom_fields = get_custom_fields('projects');
         if(count($custom_fields) > 0){ ?>
         <?php foreach($custom_fields as $field){ ?>
         <?php $value = get_custom_field_value($project->id,$field['id'],'projects');
         if($value == ''){continue;} ?>
         <tr>
            <td class="bold"><?php echo ucfirst($field['name']); ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $value; ?></td>
         </tr>
         <?php } ?>
         <?php } ?>  ```

**I attempted to retrieve the data using index key [1], but I failed miserably.**

``<?php $custom_fields = get_custom_fields('projects');
         if(count($custom_fields) > 0){ ?>
         <?php foreach($custom_fields as $field){ ?>
         <?php $value = get_custom_field_value($project->id,$field['id'],'projects');
         if($value == ''){continue;} ?>
         <tr>
            <td class="bold"><?php echo ucfirst($field[0 &&'name']); ?></td>
            <td><?php echo $value[0]; ?></td>
         </tr>
         <?php } ?>
         <?php } ?> ```

I tried using index key [0] but i got miserably failed.
