Using compact() with the elements of an array?

Is it possible to apply compact() to the elements of an array? For instance, instead of
Code:

$name = 'John';
$city = 'Denver';
$state = 'Colorado';
print_r(compact('name', 'city', 'state'));

Something like
Code:

$arr['name'] = 'John';
$arr['city'] = 'Denver';
$arr['state'] = 'Colorado';
print_r(compact(...on each key of $arr...));

I was thinking of iterating over $arr with a foreach() loop and compact()ing each element individually, but I don't know how to pass the element keys as varnames that make sense to compact().

//This what you mean

$element = array();

$element['Name'] = 'OOP';
$element['Age'] = 20;
$element['colour'] = 'white';

foreach($element as $key => $val){
    print_r( compact( $key , $val ) );
}

PHP:

lol cant really userstand what you mean but thought id have a shot at it.
