How to group subarrays by a column value?

I have the following array

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 96
            [shipping_no] => 212755-1
            [part_no] => reterty
            [description] => tyrfyt
            [packaging_type] => PC
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 96
            [shipping_no] => 212755-1
            [part_no] => dftgtryh
            [description] => dfhgfyh
            [packaging_type] => PC
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 97
            [shipping_no] => 212755-2
            [part_no] => ZeoDark
            [description] => s%c%s%c%s
            [packaging_type] => 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

Solution 1:

There is no native one, just use a loop.

$result = array();
foreach ($data as $element) {
    $result[$element['id']][] = $element;
}

Solution 2:

You can try the following:

$group = array();

foreach ( $array as $value ) {
    $group[$value['id']][] = $value;
}

var_dump($group);

Output:

array
  96 => 
    array
      0 => 
        array
          'id' => int 96
          'shipping_no' => string '212755-1' (length=8)
          'part_no' => string 'reterty' (length=7)
          'description' => string 'tyrfyt' (length=6)
          'packaging_type' => string 'PC' (length=2)
      1 => 
        array
          'id' => int 96
          'shipping_no' => string '212755-1' (length=8)
          'part_no' => string 'dftgtryh' (length=8)
          'description' => string 'dfhgfyh' (length=7)
          'packaging_type' => string 'PC' (length=2)
  97 => 
    array
      0 => 
        array
          'id' => int 97
          'shipping_no' => string '212755-2' (length=8)
          'part_no' => string 'ZeoDark' (length=7)
          'description' => string 's%c%s%c%s' (length=9)
          'packaging_type' => string 'PC' (length=2)

Solution 3:

In a more functional programming style, you could use array_reduce

$groupedById = array_reduce($data, function (array $accumulator, array $element) {
  $accumulator[$element['id']][] = $element;

  return $accumulator;
}, []);
