Question

I have this

$ids = array_map(array($this, 'myarraymap'), $data['student_teacher']);

function myarraymap($item) {
    return $item['user_id'];

function myarraymap($item,$item2) {
    return $item['$item2'];
}

Can someone can help me ? I tried lots of things but nothing work

Apart from creating a mapper object, there isn’t much you can do. For example:

class customMapper {
    private $customMap = NULL;
    public function __construct($customMap){
        $this->customMap = $customMap;
    }
    public function map($data){
        return $data[$this->customMap];
    }
}

And then inside your function, instead of creating your own mapper, use the new class:

$ids = array_map(array(new customMapper('param2'), 'map'), $data['student_teacher']);

This will allow you to create a custom mapper that can return any kind of information… And you can complexify your customMapper to accept more fields or configuration easily.
