How to group subarrays by a column value

Question

I have the following array Array        0    gt  Array                        id    gt  96              shipping no    gt  212755-1              part no    gt  reterty              description    gt  tyrfyt              packaging type    gt  PC                 1    gt  Array                        id    gt  96              shipping no    gt  212755-1              part no    gt  dftgtryh              description    gt  dfhgfyh              packaging type    gt  PC                 2    gt  Array                        id    gt  97              shipping no    gt  212755-2              part no    gt  ZeoDark              description    gt  s c s c s              packaging type    gt  PC               How can I group the array by id  Is there any native php functions are available to do this  While this approach works  I want to do this using a foreach  since with the above I will get duplicate items  which I m trying to avoid  On the above example id have 2 items  so its need to be inside of the id

It s trivial to do with LINQ  which is implemented in PHP in several libraries  including YaLinqo   It allows performing SQL-like queries on arrays and objects  The groubBy function is designed specifically for grouping  you just need to specify the field you want to group by    grouped array   from  array - gt groupBy   v  id    - gt toArray      Where   v  id    is a shorthand for function   v    return  v  id      which this library supports   The result will be exactly like in the accepted answer  just with less code     developed by me

Consume and cache the column value that you want to group by  then push the remaining data as a new subarray of the group you have created in the the result  function array group array  data   by column         result           foreach   data as  item             column    item  by column           unset  item  by column             result  column       item            return  result
