Как вывести первую категорию?

foreach ( $cat_list as $cat ) {
      $catLink = $cat;
}
$my_cat_link2 = "<a href=\"" . $config['http_home_url'] . get_url($catLink) . "/\">{$cat_info[$lc]['name']}</a>"; 
$tpl->set( '{cat-link}', $my_cat_link2);

$my_cat[] = $cat_info[$element]['name'];

 $my_cat_link2 = "<a href=\"" . $config['http_home_url'] . get_url($element) . "/\">{$cat_info[$element]['name']}</a>"; 

$tpl->set( '{title}', $row['title'] );

$tpl->set( '{cat-link}', $my_cat_link2);

if ( $row['category'] )

$cat_first = explode(',', $row['category'] );
if( $config['allow_alt_url'] ) {
$tpl->set( '{first_cat}', "<a href=\"" . $cat_info[$cat_first[0]]['alt_name'] . "/\">{$cat_info[$cat_first[0]]['name']}</a>" );
} else {
$tpl->set( '{first_cat}', "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?do=cat&category={$cat_info[$cat_first[0]]['alt_name']}\">{$cat_info[$cat_first[0]]['name']}</a>" );        
}
