Descrição

array array_column ( array $array , mixed $column_key [, mixed $index_key = null ] )

array_column() returns the values from a single column of the array, identified by the column_key. Optionally, you may provide an index_key to index the values in the returned array by the values from the index_key column in the input array.

Parâmetros

column_key: The column of values to return. This value may be the integer key of the column you wish to retrieve, or it may be the string key name for an associative array. It may also be NULL to return complete arrays (useful together with index_key to reindex the array).
index_key: The column to use as the index/keys for the returned array. This value may be the integer key of the column, or it may be the string key name.
