Drupal - Get a list of all users and into an array
In Drupal 7 you can fetch all the users using entity_load like following,
$users = entity_load('user');
and array_keys($users) will gives you the array of uid's
You can achieve the outcome in Drupal 8 by:
$query = \Drupal::entityQuery('user');
$uids = $query->execute();
Just sharing a snippet I created recently to get HTML and EMAIL of all existing users in the database.
Works well up to 2000+ users. After that I suggest implementing batching or an alternative direct database query.
This relies on Drupal loading each user.
$query = new EntityFieldQuery();
$query->entityCondition('entity_type', 'user');
$html = '<table>';
$result = $query->execute();
$uids = array_keys($result['user']);
// THIS IS YOUR ARRAY OF UIDS.
$users = user_load_multiple($uids);
// EXTRA CODE.
foreach($users as $user){
$mail = $user->mail;
$name = $user->name;
$html .= '<tr><td>'.$mail.'</td>'.'<td>'.$name.'</td></tr>';
}
$html .= '</table'>;
Will return a simple html table which you can copy into excels easily etc.
To get them in an array simply use the variable stated in the code for UIDS.
