If you have PHP 5 5 or later  the best way is to use the built in function array column      idCats   array column  cats   id      But the son has to be an array or converted to an array

The create function   function is deprecated as of php v7 2 0  You can use the array map   as given   function getObjectID  obj       return  obj- gt id      IDs   array map  getObjectID     array of object     Alternatively  you can use array column   function which returns the values from a single column of the input  identified by the column key  Optionally  an index key may be provided to index the values in the returned array by the values from the index key column of the input array  You can use the array column as given    IDs   array column  array of object    id

The solution depends on the PHP version you are using  At least there are 2 solutions   First   Newer PHP versions   As  JosepAlsina said before the best and also shortest solution is to use array column as following    catIds   array column  objects   id      Notice  For iterating an array containing  stdClasses as used in the question it is only possible with PHP versions  gt   7 0  But when using an array containing arrays you can do the same since PHP  gt   5 5   Second  Older PHP versions    Greg said in older PHP versions it is possible to do following    catIds   array map create function   o    return  o- gt id      objects     But beware  In newer PHP versions  gt   5 3 0 it is better to use Closures  like followed    catIds   array map function  o    return  o- gt id      objects       The difference  First solution creates a new function and puts it into your RAM  The garbage collector does not delete the already created and already called function instance out of memory for some reason  And that regardless of the fact  that the created function instance can never be called again  because we have no pointer for it  And the next time when this code is called  the same function will be created again  This behavior slowly fills your memory     Both examples with memory output to compare them   BAD  while  true         objects   array map create function   o    return  o- gt id      objects        echo memory get usage       n        sleep 1         the output 4235616 4236600 4237560 4238520       GOOD  while  true         objects   array map function  o    return  o- gt id      objects        echo memory get usage       n        sleep 1         the output 4235136 4235168 4235168 4235168         This may also be discussed here  Memory leak   Is Garbage Collector doing right when using   39 create function  39  within   39 array map  39
