php - PDO fetchAll() primary key as array group key

Question

I want to store the contents of a specific database into an array, grouped by their primary keys. (Instead of the useless way PDO fetchAll() organises them).

My current code:

$DownloadsPDO = $database->dbh->prepare("SELECT * FROM `downloads`");
$DownloadsArray =  $DownloadsPDO->execute();
$DownloadsArray =  $DownloadsPDO->fetchAll();

Which then outputs:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [id] => 0 [0] => 0 [path] => /xx-xx/testfile.zip [1] => /xx-xx/testfile.zip [name] => Test Script [2] => Test Script [status] => 1 [3] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [id] => 1 [0] => 1 [path] => /xx-xx/test--file.zip [1] => /xxxx/testfile.zip [name] => New Script-UPDATE [2] => New Script-UPDATE [status] => 1 [3] => 1 ) )

I was considering to use PDO::FETCH_PAIR, however I will be very soon expanding the amount of data I want to be able to use on this script. This works currently, but when I start to expand the amount of downloads and more clients come into play, obviously the way the data is grouped causes an issue.

Is it possible for me to group each array by their primary key (which is id)?

You can just use

$results = array_map('reset', $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_GROUP|PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
