[PHP]: Handling Multidimensonal Array

[bhupendra2895]

I have a array that looks like

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [link] => http://updated
            [type] => x10
            [vote] => 2
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [link] => http://latest
            [type] => hosting
            [vote] => 1
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [link] => http://paid
            [type] => x10
            [vote] => 3
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [link] => http://free
            [type] => hosting
            [vote] => 5
        )
)

I want the result like this

Array(
         [x10] => Array
                  (
                        [link1] => http://updated
                        [vote1] => 2
                        [link2] => http://paid
                        [vote2] => 3
                  )
         [hosting] => Array
                  (
                        [link1] => http://latest
                        [vote1] => 1
                        [link2] => http://free
                        [vote2] => 5
                  )
)

I am trying to find the solution of above problem since many hours.

How this can be solved?

Iterate over the array, filling out another array.

foreach ($source as $entry) {
    $byType[$entry['type']][] = $entry;
}
var_export($byType);
/*Result: 
array (
  'x10' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'link' => 'http://updated',
      'type' => 'x10',
      'vote' => 2,
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      'link' => 'http://paid',
      'type' => 'x10',
      'vote' => 3,
    ),
  ),
  'hosting' => 
  array (
    0 => 
    array (
      'link' => 'http://latest',
      'type' => 'hosting',
      'vote' => 1,
    ),
    1 => 
    array (
      'link' => 'http://free',
      'type' => 'hosting',
      'vote' => 5,
    ),
  ),
)
*/

Don't use 'link1', 'vote2' &c. as indices; use subarrays.
