PHP Change Array Structure / Format

Question

I have an array at present that looks like this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [language] => English
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [language] => Arabic
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [language] => Bengali
        )
)

What I'd like to do is change it so it looks like this:

Array
(
    [language] => Array
        (
            [0] => English
            [1] => Arabic
            [2] => Bengali
        )
)

I also have an array that looks like this:

Array
(
       [id] => 3
       [name] => lethalMango
       [joined] => 2010-01-01 00:00:00
)

And I'd like to change it to:

Array
(
    [user] => Array
        (
           [id] => 3
           [name] => lethalMango
           [joined] => 2010-01-01 00:00:00
        )
)

I've tried a number of methods without much success but I'm sure there is an more efficient way.

It's hard to compare the efficiency of our proposals with your code given that you don't share it with us... — Álvaro González

FIRST : 

$result = array();
foreach($array as $value){
  $result['language'][]= $value['language']
}



SECOND : 

 $result['user'] = $array;

hehe. Gaurav wrote the solution for the first array first and then edited the second one into it ;) However, this one is slightly different and it doesnt require $result to exists before the array is assigned, so I keep the answer :)
