    "gq_type" => "ventrilo"
)

How can I achieve this ? I have tried many things but nothing with this end result.

what i have now.

$teamArrayConverted['teams'] = convertTeamArray($serverstatus['teams']);
    unset($serverstatus['players'], $serverstatus['teams']);
$results = array_merge_recursive($serverstatus, $teamArrayConverted);

    function convertTeamArray ($array) {
    // First, convert the array so that the keys match the ids
    $reKeyed = array();
    foreach ($array as $item) {
        $reKeyed[(int) $item['cid']] = $item;
    }
    //print_r($reKeyed);    
    // Next, use references to associate children with parents
    foreach ($reKeyed as $id => $item) {
        if (isset($item['pid'], $reKeyed[(int) $item['pid']])) {
          $reKeyed[(int) $item['pid']]['teams'][] =& $reKeyed[$id];
        }
    }
    //print_r($reKeyed);
    // Finally, go through and remove children from the outer level
    foreach ($reKeyed as $id => $item) {
        if ($item['pid'] != '0') {
          //print_r($reKeyed[$id]);
          unset($reKeyed[$id]);
        }
    }
    return array_values($reKeyed);
}

Answer 1

It works in principle like this:

1. You make each node identifiable by it’s numeric id and store it in a hash so it’s accessible by it’s id.
2. You take a new hash and insert all elements incl. their children as needed.

In detail discussion of the code is here: Converting an array from one to multi-dimensional based on parent ID values:

// key the array by id
$keyed = array();
foreach($array as &$value)
{
    $keyed[$value['id']] = &$value;
}
unset($value);
$array = $keyed;
unset($keyed);

// tree it
$tree = array();
foreach($array as &$value)
{
    if ($parent = $value['parent_id'])
        $array[$parent]['children'][] = &$value;
    else
        $tree[] = &$value;
}
unset($value);
$array = $tree;
unset($tree);

var_dump($array); # your result

Replace the names with what you have as variable names and keys.
