Hi,

I've created a PR here: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/1325

This enhancement allows for properties on objects to work in the same way
as arrays for the inner elements of the main array.

IMO, it is called (array)_column...

Please read more carefully, it's about supporting objects as the inner elements of an array, not instead of an array.

and if you really want do it against object, you can always easily
convert the object to array.

thanks

It also supports the __get() method, provided that also __isset() is
implemented and returns true for the addressed property.

The only BC I can imagine is when an array is populated with a mixed set of
objects and arrays; any professional would baulk at the idea, but rules of
the jungle are pervasive.

Before I merge this, are there any objections to shipping this with 7.0?

Sounds like a useful and well thought out addition to me. Like
array_column itself, it's easily implemented (and, indeed, emulated) in
userland, but having it in the standard library helps everyone have the
same version out of the box.

I agree. This is probably the most-asked-for update to array_column() that
I hear, and I haven't had time to implement it, so this is great.

Cheers,
Ben
