    array(\'id\' => 1, \'name\' => \'red\'  , \'spin\' =&

I voted @Devon's response up because there really isn't a way to do what you're asking with a built-in function. The best you can do is write your own:

function array_column($array, $column)
{
    $ret = array();
    foreach ($array as $row) $ret[] = $row[$column];
    return $ret;
}
