Codeigniter PHP create two different array from one

Question

I'm newbie of codeigniter and PHP.

Can I separate an array into two different arrays? This is my $array:

   Array (
    [0] => Array
      (
         [Name] => mark
         [Surname] => mark
      )[1] => Array
        (
            [Name] => greg
            [Surname] => greg
        )
   )

Is it possible to create an array of $mark and another with $greg?

can you provide what you have tried so far so that we can guide you? — CodeGodie

If you want to use the value of Name as your variable name: Variable variables

foreach ($arrays as $array) {
    if (isset($array['Name'])) {
        $$array['Name'] = $array;
    }
}
print_r($mark);

You may use eval() if you want to set a string value and make it a variable.

<?php
$arrays = array(
    array(
        'Name' => 'mark',
        'Surname' => 'mark'
    ),
    array(
        'Name' => 'greg',
        'Surname' => 'greg'
    )
);
//I'd use foreach()
foreach ($arrays as $array) { 
    eval("$".$array['Name']." = array('Name'=>'{$array['Name']}','Surname'=>'{$array['Surname']}',);");
}

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($mark, $greg);
echo '</pre>';
