Answer 1

Could use some optimization, but does exactly what you asked:

    $a = array("Chicken","Fish","Hello","Lebowski","What","hey","foo");

    asort($a);
    $alphaArr = array();

    foreach(range('A', 'Z') as $letter) {

        // create empty array at offset for current letter
        $alphaArr[$letter] = array();

        foreach($a as $item) {

            // if the first letter starts with current letter
            // push it into subarray
            if (substr(strtolower($item),0,1) == strtolower($letter)) {
                $alphaArr[$letter][] = $item;
            }
        }
    }
    print_r($alphaArr);
