PHP customized array_column function for recursion, named array_column_recursive

array_column_recursive.php

	 * Returns the values recursively from columns of the input array, identified by
	 * the $columnKey.
	 *
	 * Optionally, you may provide an $indexKey to index the values in the returned
	 * array by the values from the $indexKey column in the input array.
	 *
	 * @param array $input     A multi-dimensional array (record set) from which to pull
	 *                         a column of values.
	 * @param mixed $columnKey The column of values to return. This value may be the
	 *                         integer key of the column you wish to retrieve, or it
	 *                         may be the string key name for an associative array.
	 * @param mixed $indexKey  (Optional.) The column to use as the index/keys for
	 *                         the returned array. This value may be the integer key
	 *                         of the column, or it may be the string key name.
