I am getting data from database in PhP array data_areas like this:
$query_area = "SELECT name FROM area where id>0";
$result = pg_query($con, $query_area) or die("Cannot execute query: $query_area\n");
if(pg_num_rows($result))
{
$data_areas=array();
while($row=pg_fetch_row($result))
{
$data_areas[] = array(
'name'=>$row[0]
);
}
pg_free_result($result);
pg_close($con);
$area1=$data_areas[0];
$area2=$data_areas[1];

Try Below code
$query_area = "SELECT name FROM area where id>0";
$result = pg_query($con, $query_area) or die("Cannot execute query: $query_area\n");
if(pg_num_rows($result))
{
$data_areas=array();
while($row=pg_fetch_row($result))
{
$data_areas[] = array(
'name'=>$row[0]
);
}

So first things first. You need first of all set up your array that you retrieve your data from the db.
Inside your while loop , and considering that you know what each of the rows has as associated value you can do something like:
$data_areas[] = array(
'name' => $row[0],
'surname' => $row[1],
'email' => $row[2]
);
This will create your array with all the values.
Now if you want to access/assign it's of those array values i am pretty sure you will need new dedicated arrays as your query retrieves all data from the table (small note that you don't need where id>0 as your id is auto increment so it will always be greater than 0)
Having said that we can move forward.
In order to access this data you can simple try:
print_r($data_areas['name']);
This will return you an array of all the names you have. So you don't need new table you can use the already existing one you have.

You are writing like this
$row[0]
Try writing this
$row['name']
