Question

For exemple I use this array:

Array (

[0] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39584
        [quantity] => 1
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39584
        [quantity] => 3
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39574
        [quantity] => 1
    )

[3] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39586
        [quantity] => 1
    )

)

My question is: How can I update “quantity” if the “id” is similar to that introduced earlier?

Example:

Array (

[0] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39584
        [quantity] => 4
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39574
        [quantity] => 1
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [id] => 39586
        [quantity] => 1
    )

)

Answer 1

Here is the solution:

$result = array();

foreach ($your_array as $sub_array) {
  if (empty($result[$sub_array['id']])) {
    $result[$sub_array['id']] = $sub_array;
  } else {
    $result[$sub_array['id']]['quantity'] += $sub_array['quantity'];
  }
}

This will group arrays by their ‘id’ key and sum up values
