Yes, use array_values.
array_values[array['0' => '101', '1' => '105', '2' => '103']]; // returns array[101, 105, 103]
Edit: [Thanks to @MarkBaker]
If you use var_dump on the original array and the "values only" array the output might look exactly the same if the keys are numerical and and ascending beginning from 0. Just like in your example.
If the keys are not consisting of numbers or if the numbers are "random" then the output would be different. For example if the array looks like
array['one' => '101', 'two' => '105', 'three' => '103']
the output of var_dump looks different after converting the array with array_values.

Getting the only values from an array
To extract the only values from an associative array, we use array_values[] function, it returns a new arrays with numeric indexes [starting from 0 index] and values.

Remember, array_values[] will ignore your beautiful numeric indexes, it will renumber them according tho the 'foreach' ordering:

Just a warning that re-indexing an array by array_values[] may cause you to reach the memory limit unexpectly.
For example, if your PHP momory_limits is 8MB,
and says there's a BIG array $bigArray which allocate 5MB of memory.
Doing this will cause PHP exceeds the momory limits:
It's because array_values[] does not re-index $bigArray directly,
it just re-index it into another array, and assign to itself later.

This is another way to get value from a multidimensional array, but for versions of php >= 5.3.x

Most of the array_flatten functions don't allow preservation of keys. Mine allows preserve, don't preserve, and preserve only strings [default].

If you are looking for a way to count the total number of times a specific value appears in array, use this function:
This should really be a native function of PHP.
