(PHP 5 >= 5.5.0)
array_column — Return the values from a single column in the input array
Описание
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.
Список параметров
-
array -
A multi-dimensional array (record set) from which to pull a column of values.
-
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
NULLto return complete arrays (useful together withindex_keyto 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.
Возвращаемые значения
Returns an array of values representing a single column from the input array.

You can also use array_map fucntion if you haven't array_column().
example:
$a = array(
array(
'id' => 2135,
'first_name' => 'John',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
),
array(
'id' => 3245,
'first_name' => 'Sally',
'last_name' => 'Smith',
)
);
array_column($a, 'last_name');
becomes
array_map(function($element){return $element['last_name'];}, $a);
a simple solution:
function arrayColumn(array $array, $column_key, $index_key=null){
if(function_exists('array_column ')){
return array_column($array, $column_key, $index_key);
}
$result = [];
foreach($array as $arr){
if(!is_array($arr)) continue;
if(is_null($column_key)){
$value = $arr;
}else{
$value = $arr[$column_key];
}
if(!is_null($index_key)){
$key = $arr[$index_key];
$result[$key] = $value;
}else{
$result[] = $value;
}
}
return $result;
}
if array_column does not exist the below solution will work.
if(!function_exists("array_column"))
{
function array_column($array,$column_name)
{
return array_map(function($element) use($column_name){return $element[$column_name];}, $array);
}
}
If array_column is not available you can use the following function, which also has the $index_key parameter:
if (!function_exists('array_column')) {
function array_column($array, $column_key, $index_key = null)
{
return array_reduce($array, function ($result, $item) use ($column_key, $index_key)
{
if (null === $index_key) {
$result[] = $item[$column_key];
} else {
$result[$item[$index_key]] = $item[$column_key];
}
return $result;
}, []);
}
}
Some remarks not included in the official documentation.
1) array_column does not support 1D arrays, in which case an empty array is returned.
2) The $column_key is zero-based.
3) If $column_key extends the valid index range an empty array is returned.
My version is closer to the original than http://github.com/ramsey/array_column<?php

function array_column(array $array, $columnKey, $indexKey = null)
{
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $subArray) {
if (!is_array($subArray)) {
continue;
} elseif (is_null($indexKey) && array_key_exists($columnKey, $subArray)) {
$result[] = $subArray[$columnKey];
} elseif (array_key_exists($indexKey, $subArray)) {
if (is_null($columnKey)) {
$result[$subArray[$indexKey]] = $subArray;
} elseif (array_key_exists($columnKey, $subArray)) {
$result[$subArray[$indexKey]] = $subArray[$columnKey];
}
}
}
return $result;
}
}
?>
If you need to extract more than one column from an array, you can use array_intersect_key on each element, like so:
function array_column_multi(array $input, array $column_keys) {
$result = array();
$column_keys = array_flip($column_keys);
foreach($input as $key => $el) {
$result[$key] = array_intersect_key($el, $column_keys);
}
return $result;
}
I added a little more functionality to the more popular answers here to support the $index_key parameter for PHP < 5.5
<?php
// for php < 5.5
if (!function_exists('array_column')) {
function array_column($input, $column_key, $index_key = null) {
$arr = array_map(function($d) use ($column_key, $index_key) {
if (!isset($d[$column_key])) {
return null;
}
if ($index_key !== null) {
return array($d[$index_key] => $d[$column_key]);
}
return $d[$column_key];
}, $input);
if ($index_key !== null) {
$tmp = array();
foreach ($arr as $ar) {
$tmp[key($ar)] = current($ar);
}
$arr = $tmp;
}
return $arr;
}
}
?>
if (!function_exists('array_column')){
function array_column($input, $column_key=null, $index_key=null)
{
$result = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($input as $v)
{
$k = $index_key === null || !isset($v[$index_key]) ? $i++ : $v[$index_key];
$result[$k] = $column_key === null ? $v : (isset($v[$column_key]) ? $v[$column_key] : null);
}
return $result;
}
}
Note that this function will return the last entry when possible keys are duplicated.
<?php
$array = array(
array(
'1-1',
'one',
'one',
),
array(
'1-2',
'two',
'one',
),
);
var_dump(array_column($array, $value = 0, $index = 1));
var_dump(array_column($array, $value = 0, $index = 2));
// returns:
/*
array (size=2)
'one' => string '1-1' (length=3)
'two' => string '1-2' (length=3)
array (size=1)
'one' => string '1-2' (length=3)
*/
?>
<?php
# for PHP < 5.5
# AND it works with arrayObject AND array of objects
if (!function_exists('array_column')) {
function array_column($array, $columnKey, $indexKey = null)
{
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $subArray) {
if (is_null($indexKey) && array_key_exists($columnKey, $subArray)) {
$result[] = is_object($subArray)?$subArray->$columnKey: $subArray[$columnKey];
} elseif (array_key_exists($indexKey, $subArray)) {
if (is_null($columnKey)) {
$index = is_object($subArray)?$subArray->$indexKey: $subArray[$indexKey];
$result[$index] = $subArray;
} elseif (array_key_exists($columnKey, $subArray)) {
$index = is_object($subArray)?$subArray->$indexKey: $subArray[$indexKey];
$result[$index] = is_object($subArray)?$subArray->$columnKey: $subArray[$columnKey];
}
}
}
return $result;
}
}
?>
array_column implementation that works on multidimensional arrays (not just 2-dimensional):
<?php
function array_column_recursive(array $haystack, $needle) {
$found = [];
array_walk_recursive($haystack, function($value, $key) use (&$found, $needle) {
if ($key == $needle)
$found[] = $value;
});
return $found;
}

Here's a neat little snippet for filtering a set of records based on a the value of a column:
<?php
function dictionaryFilterList(array $source, array $data, string $column) : array
{
$new = array_column($data, $column);
$keep = array_diff($new, $source);
return array_intersect_key($data, $keep);
}
// Usage:
$users = [
['first_name' => 'Jed', 'last_name' => 'Lopez'],
['first_name' => 'Carlos', 'last_name' => 'Granados'],
['first_name' => 'Dirty', 'last_name' => 'Diana'],
['first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Williams'],
['first_name' => 'Betty', 'last_name' => 'Boop'],
['first_name' => 'Dan', 'last_name' => 'Daniels'],
['first_name' => 'Britt', 'last_name' => 'Anderson'],
['first_name' => 'Will', 'last_name' => 'Smith'],
['first_name' => 'Magic', 'last_name' => 'Johnson'],
];
var_dump(dictionaryFilterList(['Dirty', 'Dan'], $users, 'first_name'));
// Outputs:
[
['first_name' => 'Jed', 'last_name' => 'Lopez'],
['first_name' => 'Carlos', 'last_name' => 'Granados'],
['first_name' => 'John', 'last_name' => 'Williams'],
['first_name' => 'Betty', 'last_name' => 'Boop'],
['first_name' => 'Britt', 'last_name' => 'Anderson'],
['first_name' => 'Will', 'last_name' => 'Smith'],
['first_name' => 'Magic', 'last_name' => 'Johnson']
]
?>
array_column() will return duplicate values.
Instead of having to use array_unique(), use the $index_key as a hack.
**Caution: This may get messy when setting the $column_key and/or $index_key as integers.**
<?php
$records = [
[ 'id' => 2135, 'first_name' => 'John' ],
[ 'id' => 3245, 'first_name' => 'Sally' ],
[ 'id' => 5342, 'first_name' => 'Jane' ],
[ 'id' => 5623, 'first_name' => 'Peter' ],
[ 'id' => 6982, 'first_name' => 'Sally' ]
];
print_r(array_unique(array_column($records, 'first_name')));
// Force uniqueness by making the key the value.
print_r(array_column($records, 'first_name', 'first_name'));
print_r(array_column($records, 'id', 'first_name'));
// Returns
/*
Array
(
[0] => John
[1] => Sally
[2] => Jane
[3] => Peter
)
Array
(
[John] => John
[Sally] => Sally
[Jane] => Jane
[Peter] => Peter
)
Array
(
[John] => 2135
[Sally] => 6982
[Jane] => 5342
[Peter] => 5623
)
*/
?>
//php < 5.5if(function_exists('array_column'))
{
function array_column($arr_data, $col)
{
$result = array_map(function($arr){return $arr[$col]}, $arr_data);
return $result;
}
}
This function does not preserve the original keys of the array (when not providing an index_key).
You can work around that like so:
<?php
// instead of
array_column($array, 'column');
// to preserve keys
array_combine(array_keys($array), array_column($array, 'column'));
?>
Because the function was not available in my version of PHP, I wrote my own version and extended it a little based on my needs.
When you give an $indexkey value of -1 it preserves the associated array key values.
EXAMPLE:
$sample = array(
'test1' => array(
'val1' = 10,
'val2' = 100
),
'test2' => array(
'val1' = 20,
'val2' = 200
),
'test3' => array(
'val1' = 30,
'val2' = 300
)
);
print_r(array_column_ext($sample,'val1'));
OUTPUT:
Array
(
[0] => 10
[1] => 20
[2] => 30
)
print_r(array_column_ext($sample,'val1',-1));
OUTPUT:
Array
(
['test1'] => 10
['test2'] => 20
['test3'] => 30
)
print_r(array_column_ext($sample,'val1','val2'));
OUTPUT:
Array
(
[100] => 10
[200] => 20
[300] => 30
)
<?php
function array_column_ext($array, $columnkey, $indexkey = null) {
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $subarray => $value) {
if (array_key_exists($columnkey,$value)) { $val = $array[$subarray][$columnkey]; }
else if ($columnkey === null) { $val = $value; }
else { continue; }
if ($indexkey === null) { $result[] = $val; }
elseif ($indexkey == -1 || array_key_exists($indexkey,$value)) {
$result[($indexkey == -1)?$subarray:$array[$subarray][$indexkey]] = $val;
}
}
return $result;
}
?>
Please note that if you use array_column to reset the index, when the index value is null, there will be different results in different PHP versions, examples
<?php
$array = [
[
'name' =>'Bob',
'house' =>'big',
],
[
'name' =>'Alice',
'house' =>'small',
],
[
'name' =>'Jack',
'house' => null,
],
];
var_dump(array_column($array,null,'house'));
On 5.6.30, 7.0.0, 7.2.0 (not limited to) get the following results
array(3) {
["big"]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(3) "Bob"
["house"]=>
string(3) "big"
}
["small"]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "Alice"
["house"]=>
string(5) "small"
}
[0]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "Jack"
["house"]=>
NULL
}
}
The new index, null will be converted to int, and can be incremented according to the previous index, that is, if Alice "house" is also null, then Alice's new index is "0", Jack's new index is "1"
On 7.1.21, 7.2.18, 7.4.8 (not limited to) will get the following results
array(3) {
["Big"]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(3) "Bob"
["house"]=>
string(3) "Big"
}
["small"]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(5) "Alice"
["house"]=>
string(5) "small"
}
[""]=>
array(2) {
["name"]=>
string(4) "Jack"
["house"]=>
NULL
}
}
The new index null will be converted to an empty string
The following function may be useful to create columns from all values of indexed arrays:
<?php
function array_column_all(array $arrays): array
{
$output = [];
$columnCount = count($arrays[0]);
for ($i = 0; $i < $columnCount; $i++)
{
$output [] = array_column($arrays, $i);
}
return $output;
}
?>
Use:
-----
<?php
array_column_all(
[
['A1', 'A2', 'A3'],
['B1', 'B2', 'B3'],
['C1', 'C2', 'C3'],
]
);
?>
This will output:
-------------------
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => A1
[1] => B1
[2] => C1
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => A2
[1] => B2
[2] => C2
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => A3
[1] => B3
[2] => C3
)
)
The counterpart of array_column(), namely create an array from columns, can be done with array_map() :
<?php
// Columns
$lastnames = ['Skywalker', 'Organa', 'Kenobi'];
$firstnames = ['Luke', 'Leia', 'Obiwan'];
// Columns to array
$characters = array_map(
fn ($l, $f) => ['lastname' => $l, 'firstname' => $f],
$lastnames, $firstnames
);
print_r($characters);
/*
[
0 => ['lastname' => 'Skywalker', 'firstname' => 'Luke']
1 => ['lastname' => 'Organa', 'firstname' => 'Leia']
2 => ['lastname' => 'Kenobi', 'firstname' => 'Obiwan']
]
*/
Index_key is safely applicable only in cases when corresponding values of this index are unique through over the array. Otherwise only the latest element of the array with the same index_key value will be picked up.
<?php
$records = array(
array(
'id' => 2135,
'first_name' => 'John',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
'company_id' => 1,
),
array(
'id' => 3245,
'first_name' => 'Sally',
'last_name' => 'Smith',
'company_id' => 1,
),
array(
'id' => 5342,
'first_name' => 'Jane',
'last_name' => 'Jones',
'company_id' => 1,
),
array(
'id' => 5623,
'first_name' => 'Peter',
'last_name' => 'Doe',
'company_id' => 2,
)
);
$first_names = array_column($records, 'first_name', 'company_id');
print_r($first_names);
?>
The above example will output:
<?php
Array
(
[1] => Jane
[2] => Peter
)
?>
To group values by the same `index_key` in arrays one can use simple replacement for the `array_column` like below example function:
<?php
function arrayed_column(array $array, int|string $column_key, int|string $index_key) {
$output = [];
foreach ($array as $item) {
$output[$item['index_key']][] = $item['column_key'];
}
return $output;
}
$first_names = arrayed_column($records, 'first_name', 'company_id');
print_r($first_names);
?>
The output:
<?php
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[0] => John
[1] => Sally
[2] => Jane
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] =>Peter
)
)
?>
If you want to rearrage an array with two layers (perhaps from database-requests), then use 'array_walk' instead:
<?php
$yamlList = [
['title' => 'hallo ich', 'identifier' => 'ich', 'Klaus'=> 'doof',],
['title' => 'hallo du', 'identifier' => 'du', 'Klaus'=> 'doof',],
['title' => 'hallo er', 'identifier' => 'er', 'Klaus'=> 'doof',],
];
echo ('Input'."\n".print_r($yamlList,true)."\n");
array_walk($yamlList, function (&$value, $key) {
$value = [
$value['title'],
$value['identifier'],
];
});
echo ("\n".'Output'."\n".print_r($yamlList,true)."\n");
?>
The Result
===========
...
Output
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => hallo ich
[1] => ich
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => hallo du
[1] => du
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => hallo er
[1] => er
)
)
Array multiple columns:
<?php
function array_columns() {
$args = func_get_args();
$array = array_shift($args);
if (!$args) {
return $array;
}
$keys = array_flip($args);
return array_map(function($element) use($keys) {
return array_intersect_key($element, $keys);
}, $array);
}
?>
EXAMPLE:
<?php
$products = [
[
'id' => 2,
'name' => 'Phone',
'price' => 210.3
],
[
'id' => 3,
'name' => 'Laptop',
'price' => 430.12
]
];
print_r(array_columns($products, 'name', 'price'));
?>
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => Phone
[price] => 210.3
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => Laptop
[price] => 430.12
)
)
If you want to preserve the array keys AND you want it to work on both object properties and array elements AND you want it to work if some of the arrays/objects in the array do not have the given key/property defined, basically the most ROBUST version you can get, yet quick enough:
<?php
function array_column_keys(array|ArrayAccess $arr, string $col) {
// like array_columns but keeps the keys
//to make it work for objects and arrays
return array_map(fn($e) => (is_countable($e) ? ($e[$col]??null) : null) ?: (is_object($e) ? $e->$col : null), $arr);
}
?>
If a key/property is undefined, the value in the result array will be NULL. You can use array_filter() to filter those out if needed.
<?php
class a {
public string $a = 'property a';
public string $b = 'property b';
}
$a1 = new a;
$a2 = new a;
$a2->a = 'plop';
$b = ['one'=> ['a'=>'plop'],
3 => $a1,
4 => $a2,
5 =>[],
'kud'=>new a];
return array_column_keys($b, 'a');
?>
Returns:
Array
(
[one] => plop
[3] => property a
[4] => something else
[5] =>
[kud] => property a
)
If an entry in the source array does not have a column_key element then array_column will silently skip that entry and return an array shorter than the source.
If entries can't be uniquely identified by an index_key then there's no way of telling which ones were skipped, as without an index_key array_column returns a plain list.
<?php
$array = [
['a' => '0th', 'b' => 'zero'],
['a' => '1st', 'b' => 'one'],
['a' => '2nd' /* oops */],
['a' => '3rd', 'b'=>'three']];
var_export(array_column($array, 'b'));
var_export(array_column($array, 'b', 'a'));
?>
