Hi, Shouldn't this be called 'array_pluck'? This is the name people usually use when implementing it in PHP (see "array_pluck(" vs "array_column(" in Google) or in other languages/libs (see underscorejs, prototypejs and RoR). -- Léo Peltier -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailin

Re: [PHP-DEV] [DRAFT] RFC - array_column() function

For what my .02 is worth, I imagine "plucking" an item out of an array would not occur to a user-land developer as the proper nomenclature for extracting all the values from an array with the given key. At worst, this means many developers simply won't learn about the function and continue to i
