php array pluck code example

Example 1: pluck array in laravel

$users = User::all()->pluck('field_name');
//for keys instead of [User::all()->pluck('id');] use
$user_ids = User::all()->modelKeys();

Example 2: php collapse common columns in associative array

/* Collapse on common columns which is also the new key e.g.
([0] => [[id] => 1234, [firstName] => "foo", [1] => [[id] => 1234, [lastName] => "bar")
will become ([1234] => [[firstName] => "foo", [lastName]="bar"]

$result = array();
foreach ($data as $element) {
    $result[$element['id']][] = $element;// [] appends to the array if it already exists
}
