Convert Array From Laravel Collection

Question

Im using Laravel 4.2. This maybe quite simple. When i get result from eloquent model using ->get(), i get this type of result

[{"name":"JOHN","tel":"12345"},{"name":"JANE","tel":"67890"}]

And I want to convert to this format

[["JOHN","12345"],["JANE","67890"]]

I've been struggling with this issue and I don't know what exact keyword to search for.

Use the map() collection method and array_values(). Just tested this and it's working perfectly:

$collection->map(function ($i) {
    return array_values($i);
})->toArray();

In 4.2 use array_map:

array_map(function ($i) {
    return array_values($i);
}, $collection->toArray());

this is laravel 4.2. map() is not available.

@lucaditrimma I've updated the answer with a solution for 4.2 too.

This may be a shorter way to do as each method is availble on collections too, Although @Alexey Answer is nice one.

$collection->each(function ($i) {
    return array_values($i);
})->toArray();
