PHP 8.2 - implementing `array_column()` Returning Unexpected Results on Nested Arrays
I'm following best practices but I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with a puzzling scenario with `array_column()` in PHP 8.2 when trying to extract values from a nested array. The function seems to be returning unexpected results, specifically when I attempt to access a column in a multidimensional array that contains nested arrays. Here's the code I'm using: ```php $data = [ [ 'id' => 1, 'details' => [ 'name' => 'Alice', 'age' => 30 ] ], [ 'id' => 2, 'details' => [ 'name' => 'Bob', 'age' => 25 ] ], ]; $names = array_column($data, 'details.name'); print_r($names); ``` I expected `$names` to return an array of names, like this: ``` Array ( [0] => Alice [1] => Bob ) ``` Instead, I'm getting: ``` Array ( ) ``` This behavior seems odd because I am trying to reference a key within a nested array, but `array_column()` doesn't seem to support this kind of operation. I’ve tried restructuring the array and using a loop to achieve the desired results, but that seems inefficient. Is there a better way to handle this situation, or is there something I'm missing with how `array_column()` works in PHP? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
