Tag: array chunk

Sometimes programmer needs to chunk or grouping array based on the array key value. Look at the below code snippet, here I have a multidimensional array, and I want to group all same elements of each category.

OUTPUT:

array (
  'php' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'php',
      'post_id' => 100,
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'php',
      'post_id' => 102,
    ),
    2 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'php',
      'post_id' => 104,
    ),
  ),
  'html' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'html',
      'post_id' => 101,
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'html',
      'post_id' => 104,
    ),
  ),
  'js' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'category' => 'js',
      'post_id' => 103,
    ),
  ),
)
