Question

I have here what I would call a dirty array,
this dirty array needs to be filtered so it is a clean array e.g.

Below is the Array.

array
  0 => string '1' (length=1)
  1 => string 'FIRSTNAME A' (length=7)
  2 => string 'LASTNAME B' (length=10)
  3 => string '2011-12-08 16:15:37' (length=19)
  4 => string '2' (length=1)
  5 => string 'FIRSTNAME B' (length=7)
  6 => string 'LASTNAME B' (length=10)
  7 => string '2011-12-08 16:15:43' (length=19)
  8 => string '3' (length=1)
  9 => string 'FIRSTNAME C' (length=7)
  10 => string 'LASTNAME C' (length=10)
  11 => string '2011-12-08 16:15:48' (length=19)
  12 => string '4' (length=1)
  13 => string 'FIRSTNAME D' (length=7)
  14 => string 'LASTNAME D' (length=10)
  15 => string '2011-12-08 16:15:55' (length=19)
  16 => string '6' (length=1)
  17 => string 'FIRSTNAME E' (length=7)
  18 => string 'LASTNAME E' (length=10)
  19 => string '2011-12-08 16:16:08' (length=19)

I want the final output to look like

array[0]= 1, FIRSTNAME A, LASTNAME A, DATE

array[1]= 2, FIRSTNAME B, LASTNAME B, DATE

array[2]= 3, FIRSTNAME C, LASTNAME C, DATE

array[3]= 4, FIRSTNAME D, LASTNAME D, DATE

array[4]= 4, FIRSTNAME E, LASTNAME E, DATE

Answer 1

This should work

$clean = array_chunk($dirty, 4);
