how can I extract specific data from different arrays using php? [duplicate]

Question

I'm a beginner and really need your help. I have the following data:

[1] => Array
             (
                 [category] => Professional sports team
                 [name] => MMA Academy Lebanon
                 [created_time] => 2014-02-27T08:26:50+0000
                 [id] => 145482752217243
             )

[2] => Array
            (
                [category] => Company
                [name] => AUB Rally Paper'11 - Team #2 - MEAB
                [created_time] => 2011-05-08T17:25:10+0000
                [id] => 184753811576654
            )

[3] => Array
            (
              [category] => Food/beverages
              [name] => SuperFresh Lebanon
              [created_time] => 2011-05-03T12:25:44+0000
              [id] => 118829648191256
            )

How can I extract and display only the name from each array using php? (note: I have many arrays so I need a code that will do the job regardless of how many arrays I have) I am a beginner so let your answer be as comprehensive and simple as possible

Thanks a lot!!

If you're getting this from a database query, then modify your query to select only the column(s) that you need — Mark Baker

Else, use array_map() like array_map( function($value) { return $value['name']; }, $myData); or a simple loop — Mark Baker

Just loop it through using a foreach construct...

foreach($yourarray as $k=>$arr)
{
 echo $arr['name']."<br>";
}

Try this,

foreach($yourarray as $arr)
{
 echo $arr['name']."<br/>";
}
