Creating one array from another array in php

Question

I have an array that looks like this. This is a 2 dimensional array.

$MainArray = Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [Job_Name] => WXYZ
            


        

Answer 1

Use below code:-

$result = [];
foreach($MainArray as $record){
 $result[$record['Machine_Name']][] = $record;
}

echo '
'; print_r($result);


output:-

Array
(
    [Machine1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
               (
                  [Job_Name] => WXYZ
                  [Quantity] => 1000
                  [Start_Date] => 2014-07-30 00:00:00
                  [Completion_Date] => 2014-08-02 00:00:00
                  [Labor] => 4
               )
            [1] => Array
               (
                  [Job_Name] => BCDA
                  [Quantity] => 1200
                  [Start_Date] => 2014-08-02 00:00:00
                  [Completion_Date] => 2014-08-07 00:00:00
                  [Labor] => 1
               )
         )
      [Machine2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
               (
                  [Job_Name] => ABCD
                  [Quantity] => 1500
                  [Machine_Name] => Machine2
                  [Start_Date] => 2014-08-08 00:00:00
                  [Completion_Date] => 2014-08-14 00:00:00
                  [Labor] => 2
               )
         )   
)
