$records = [
    [
        'id' => 2135,
        'first_name' => 'John',
        'last_name' => 'Doe',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 3245,
        'first_name' => 'Sally',
        'last_name' => 'Smith',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 5342,
        'first_name' => 'Jane',
        'last_name' => 'Jones',
    ],
    [
        'id' => 5623,
        'first_name' => 'Peter',
        'last_name' => 'Doe',
    ]
];

<?php
$first_names = array_column($records, &#39;first_name&#39;);
var_dump($first_names);
?>

<?php
$first_names = array_column($records, &#39;first_name&#39;,&#39;id&#39;);
var_dump($first_names);
?>

$first_names= [];
array_walk($records, function($value, $key) use (&$first_names){
    $first_names[] = $value['first_name'];
});
var_dump($first_names);

$first_names= [];
array_map(function($value) use (&$first_names){
    $first_names[] = $value['first_name'];
}, $records);
var_dump($first_names);

$first_names = array_reduce($records,function($result, $value){
    array_push($result, $value['first_name']);
    return $result;
},[]);
var_dump($first_names);
