Return an associative array of data

[chelsEg]

Hello.

In our projects we use Your library for connect to Tarantool.

Would be great if select function return associative array.

At the moment in our cases we have something like this:

$result = $client()->getSpace('test_space')->select(Criteria::key([1]));

print_r($result);

/*
    Array
    (
        [0] => Array
            (
                [0] => 1
                [1] => Test
                [2] => Test
                [3] => https://www.google.com/
                [4] => 1
                [5] => 0
                [6] => 1
                [7] => 2
                [8] => 1
                [9] => 1
                [10] => 1
            )
    )
 */

After that we associate index number with field name for comfort and easy usage in our code.

Proposal:

For more comfort usage, adding boolean parameter $associative with default value => false to select function.

$result = $client()->getSpace('test_space')->select(Criteria::key([1]), true);

print_r($result);

/*
    Array
    (
        [0] => Array
        (
            [field_1] => 1
            [field_2] => Test
            [field_3] => Test
            [field_4] => https://www.google.com/
            [field_5] => 1
            [field_6] => 0
            [field_7] => 1
            [field_8] => 2
            [field_9] => 1
            [field_10] => 1
            [field_11] => 1
        )
    )
*/

Thanks!

Personally, I just store a string, which is the serialized contents of my array. ( serialized(['test'=>'test'] )
Unserialize it when I grab it, and I have no issues. ( unserialize() )
