Count by grouping Multidimensional arrays in PHP [duplicate]

Answer 1

Orrrrr... Since the days are unique:

  <?php

  header('Content-type: text/plain');

  $inputArray  = array(
    array('qty' => 5,  'dd'  => '01-Nov-2012'),
    array('qty' => 10, 'dd'  => '01-Nov-2012'),
    array('qty' => 3,  'dd'  => '02-Nov-2012'),
    array('qty' => 4,  'dd'  => '03-Nov-2012'),
    array('qty' => 15, 'dd'  => '03-Nov-2012'));

  $outputArray = array();

  foreach ( $inputArray as $record ) {
    if ( !key_exists($record['dd'], $outputArray) ) {
      $outputArray[$record['dd']] = 0;
    }
    $outputArray[$record['dd']] += $record['qty'];
  }

  print_r($outputArray);

would produce:

Array
(
    [01-Nov-2012] => 15
    [02-Nov-2012] => 3
    [03-Nov-2012] => 19
)

Just loop trough the rows, and add up the quantities in a different array indexed by the dd values.

$in = array(array()); // your input
$out = array();
foreach ($in as $row) {
    if (!isset($out[$row['dd']])) {
        $out[$row['dd']] = array(
            'dd' => $row['dd'],
            'quantity' => 0,
        );
    }
    $out[$row['dd']]['quantity'] += $row['quantity'];
}
$out = array_values($out); // make the out array numerically indexed
var_dump($out);
