Show Can I pull Each Of These Out Of An Array? - php

Question

I am having trouble pulling elements out of this multi-dimensional array?
Here is my code below:
$ShowTables = $Con->prepare("SHOW TABLES");
$ShowTables->execute();
$ShowTResults = $ShowTables->fetchAll();
If I print_r($ShowTResults); I get this multi-dimensional array:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [Tables_in_alltables] => userinformation [0] => userinformation )
[1] => Array ( [Tables_in_alltables] => users [0] => users )
)
Foreach new table is loaded it adds another dimension of the array. I want to pull each of the table names, out of the multi-dimensional array into a new array which I can use for future plans.
Would anyone have any ideas?
I have tried 1 foreach Loop; but this served no justice.

You want to fetch all results of the first column in form of an array:
$ShowTResults = $Con->query("SHOW TABLES")->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_COLUMN, 0);
print_r($ShowTResults);
This gives you:
Array (
[0] => userinformation
[1] => users
)
Which I think is what you're looking for.
Another variant (a bit more complicated, but fitting for similar but little different cases) is to fetch the results as function (PDO::FETCH_FUNC) and directly map the result:
$ShowTResults = $ShowTables->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_FUNC, function($table) {
return $table;
});

A Solution I tried: Perhaps not as other will do, which is in full respect. But Here is mine:
$DatabaseTables = array();
foreach($ShowTResults AS $ShowTResult)
{
foreach ($ShowTResult AS $ShowT)
{
$DatabaseTables[] = $ShowT;
}
}
$DatabaseTables = array_unique($DatabaseTables); //Deletes Duplicates in Array
unset($ShowTResult);
unset($ShowT); // Free up these variables
print_r($DatabaseTables);
