Codeigniter选择结果数组格式

Question

I have this code:

 $query = $this->db->select( 'cat_id' )
            ->from( 'products_cat' )
            ->where('product_id',$id)
            ->get()
            **->result_array();**
return $query;

It's return value in this format:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [cat_id] => 2 ) [1] => Array ( [cat_id] => 3 ) [2] => Array ( [cat_id] => 5 ) )

And I want it to return simple array like Array(2,3,5)

(Without arrays inside arrays and without the "cat_id" index)

What do I need to change?

Answer 1

replace your return $query; with this return array_map( function( $data ) { return $data['cat_id']; }, $query );

Answer 2

result_array() returns a json_decoded array. Use json_encode($query)
