Convert an associative array to a simple array of its values in php

Question

I would like to convert the array:

Array (  [category] => category  [post_tag] => post_tag  [nav_menu] => nav_menu  [link_category] => link_category  [post_format] => post_format  ) 

to

array(category, post_tag, nav_menu, link_category, post_format) 

I tried

$myarray = 'array('. implode(', ',get_taxonomies('','names')) .')'; 

which echos out:

array(category, post_tag, nav_menu, link_category, post_format) 

So I can do

echo $myarray; echo 'array(category, post_tag, nav_menu, link_category, post_format)'; 

and it prints the exact same thing.

...but I can't use $myarray in a function in place of the manually entered array because the function doesn't see it as array or something.

What am I missing here?

Answer 1

simply use array_values function:

$array = array_values($array);
