I want to avoid having to write lines of: foreach($array['hours'] as $key => $image_meta){ list($file, $path, $year, $month, $day, $hhmm) = $image_meta; //Do whatever you want with the variables. } I personally would avoid 'extract' function, as a matter of principle, as it's to easy to add something to an array and not realize it, and then you start over-writing variables you didn't mean to, because your key name matches some other variable you didn't mean to over-write...
