Php array: How can I echo the value of this?

Using arrays : Php array: How can I echo the value of this? on newest questions tagged arrays – Stack Overflow

I am trying to echo a setting on the second level of an array in my wordpress options and having some trouble getting the variable. This code DOES work:

 <?php foreach($area['fields'] as $field): ?>
 <?php if ($field['id'] == 'show_border')
  {echo ' show_border';} ?>
 <?php endforeach; ?>

That simply checks if there is a field that asks if you want to show a border and if there is it echos whatever I want, regardless of what the field is set at for actually showing the border or not.

What I am trying to do is to just echo the value that is set in the field “show_border”.

Any idea how I would do this?
