You're losing me hear without sample data, but I'll try.

Ideally your input array would be something like:
$result[] = array('id'=>23, 'text'=>'ok', 'relevance'=>2);
$result[] = array('id'=>42, 'text'=>'joel', 'relevance'=>1);
$result[] = array('id'=>23, 'text'=>'php', 'relevance'=>1);

Which gives you an array like:
print_r($result);
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[text] => ok
[relevance] => 2
)

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 42
[text] => joel
[relevance] => 1
)

[2] => Array
(
[id] => 23
[text] => php
[relevance] => 1
)

)

If you changed your array to be like this, then the original code won't
work.
You can cycle through the array like this:
foreach( $result as $resultItem) {
echo $resultItem['id'];
echo $resultItem['text'];
echo $resultItem['relevance'];
}

Hope that helps.
