Question

Hey everyone,
I have a query result returned as an array with active record:

Array ( 
[0] => Array ( [name] => Betty Glassmaker ) 
[1] => Array ( [name] => John Johnson ) 
[2] => Array ( [name] => Bill Pratt ) 
)

But since my query specifically only asks for the name column, I would rather the results be modified to reflect this array structure:

Array (
[0] => Betty Glassmaker 
[2] => John Johnson 
[3] => Bill Pratt
)

What might be the easiest way to get the result I’m looking for?

Answer 1

You could loop through your array, something like this ( not tested )

// $resultset is you multidimensional array

$optimised = Array();  // good habit to initialise before usage.

foreach($resultset as $key => $value){
   $optimised[] = $value['name'];
}

Good-luck!
