Without using a loop, how can I "chop" an array of associative arrays into separate arrays, grouped by keys?

Question

Say I have the following array of associative arrays:

$MasterArr = array(

    array("food" => "apple", "taste" => "sweet"),

    array("food" => "lemon", "taste" => "sour"),

    array("food" => "steak", "taste" => "meaty")

);

Without using a

foreach

loop, is there a way that can I "chop" it into 2 different arrays whose values come from the same keys, so it looks like this:

$FoodArr = array("apple","lemon","steak");

$TasteArr = array("sweet","sour","meaty");

Answer 1

You can use array_column for that:

$FoodArr = array_column($MasterArr, 'food');
$TasteArr = array_column($MasterArr, 'taste');
