How to group subarrays by a column value?

Question

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

There is no native one, just use a loop.

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