Question

Is there anyways to get first two element of each profile_id using php

array(
    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 1),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 1),
    array(['type'] => image,['profile_id'] => 1),

    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 2),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 2),
    array(['type'] => scenes,['profile_id'] => 2),
    array(['type'] => image,['profile_id'] => 2),

    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 3),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 3),
    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 3),
)   

Expected Result

array(
    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 1),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 1),

    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 2),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 2),

    array(['type'] => album,['profile_id'] => 3),
    array(['type'] => video,['profile_id'] => 3),
)

Thanks

Answer 1

• Loop the array
• put into new array upto count 2 if profile_id == next profile_id
• if profile_id != next profile_id reset count and repeat step 2.

It’s better not to post the exact code. 😀
