I want to retrun all data without foreach looping statement.

$data = array();
            foreach($modelData as $row){
                $data[] = $row[$model->name];
            }
            return $data;

I didnt want to use this foreach loop. so please suggest me appropriate solution.

Answer 1

You can use array_map function

do something like :

$data = array_map(function($model){
return $model['object_type']['Name'];
},$modelData);

the code is not tested, but it should be something like this

Based on what your var_dump response was to the other solution, try :

$data = array_map(function($model){
return $model['object_type']['Name']['text'];
},$modelData);

Answer 2

How about JSON? You can get a string from array.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php

Answer 3

I'm not sure if this is what you wanted but in case it is, I tried doing the same thing, to get an array without the alias like: $array['first_name'] instead of $array['User']['first_name'] in order to print it in JSON format, but unfortunatelly there is no way to natively do that, so I sticked to the foreach

Answer 4

If not foreach, then try for because to iterate arrays you have to use some loops and the fastest is for as below

$data = array();
$size = sizeof($modelData);

for($i=0; $i<=$size; $i++)
{
    $data[] = $modelData[$i][$model->name];
}
return $data;

Answer 5

try

  $final_array = array_map(
  function ($a) { 

    return  $a['object_types']['Name'];
  }, 
    $modelData
  );

 print_r($final_array);
