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;
}
