Answer 1

For yii2 , use:

yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::map(MyModel::find()->all(), 'id', 'name'));

or

yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::getColumn(MyModel::find()->all(), 'name'));

Answer 2

If i understand you correctly:

$users = User::model()->findAll();
$usersArr = CHtml::listData( $users, 'id' , 'name');
print_r( $usersArr );

It will give you array id => name

Array {
    2 => 'someone',
    20 => 'kitty',
    102 => 'Marian',
    // ...
}

Answer 3

ActiveRecord class has an attribute called attributes. You can find its description here: http://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/1.1/CActiveRecord#attributes-detail.

In order to get all attributes in an array, use this: $var = $model->attributes;
