This simple yet powerful class to filters an array and breaks in to a categorized array format.You can use this class if you are dealing with large and complex array and want to convert it into and simple array that is easy to understand and use. Recently i required a function that can categorize an array and break it into categorize format.I couldn't find any core function to do that so i decided to create my own class that can do this job for me. I have also added an example to demonstrate the usage to its benefit. Make sure you comment it if you find it useful.

Original Array

$arrProducts=array(
        array(
        "product_id" 			=> "007",
        "product_name"      	=> "Blackberry R-900 Mobile",
        "product_price" 		=> "£450",
        "product_status"		=>"1",
        "product_category"		=>"Mobile"
        ),
		array(
        "product_id" 			=> "033",
        "product_name"      	=> "8 GB Pendrive",
        "product_price" 		=> "£14.99",
        "product_status"		=> "0",
        "product_category"		=> "Computers"
        )
);
