Creating an array setting the keys as strings

Question

I have this loop, where I'm trying to generate an array like this:

array( $file['file_type'] => $file['import_status] )

To do so, I build this foreach loop to access the $file variable, which has the data I wanted to store.

$filesStatusArray = array();
foreach ($filesToImport as $keys => $file) {
    $filesStatusArray = $file['import_status'];
}

This way I'm doing, I have only an array with the import_status values.. but I wanted the key to be the file_type... how can I do that?

Probably best to show the structure of the $filesToImport array and the desired structure of $fileStatusArray — Phil

$filesStatusArray = array();
foreach ($filesToImport as $keys => $file) {
    $filesStatusArray[$file['file_type']] = $file['import_status'];
}
