How get all values in a column using PHP?

Here is a simple way to do this using either PDO or mysqli

$stmt = $pdo->prepare("SELECT Column FROM foo");
// careful, without a LIMIT this can take long if your table is huge
$stmt->execute();
$array = $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN);
print_r($array);

or, using mysqli

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Column FROM foo");
$stmt->execute();
$array = [];
foreach ($stmt->get_result() as $row)
{
    $array[] = $row['column'];
}
print_r($array);

Array
(
    [0] => 7960
    [1] => 7972
    [2] => 8028
    [3] => 8082
    [4] => 8233
)
