Is there a function to extract a 'column' from an array in PHP?

Question

I have an array of arrays, with the following structure :

array(array(\'page\' => \'page1\', \'name\' => \'pagename1\')
      array(\'page\' => \'pa

I don't think there is any need to have a built in function for this. There may be an array in your those array.

$samples=array(
            array('page' => 'page1', 'name' => 'pagename1'),
            array('page' => 'page2', 'name' => 'pagename2'),
            array('page' => 'page3', 'name' => 'pagename3')
            );

$output1=array();
$output2=array();
foreach($samples as $sample){
    array_push($output1,$sample['name']);
    $output2[]=array_splice($sample,1);

}

print_r($output1);
print_r($output2);

in $output1 is the output what you want if you want only to remove the 'page' indexing' part then $output2.

if you need all the values from the that array and indexes numerically the array then you can use

$array_1=array_values($samples); 

but what i understand, you didn't want this.
