Tried to use an example below (#56022) for array_chunk_fixed that would "partition" or divide an array into a desired number of split lists -- a useful procedure for "chunking" up objects or text items into columns, or partitioning any type of data resource. However, there seems to be a flaw with array_chunk_fixed — for instance, try it with a nine item list and with four partitions. It results in 3 entries with 3 items, then a blank array.
So, here is the output of my own dabbling on the matter:
<?php
function partition( $list, $p ) {
$listlen = count( $list );
$partlen = floor( $listlen / $p );
$partrem = $listlen % $p;
$partition = array();
$mark = 0;
for ($px = 0; $px < $p; $px++) {
$incr = ($px < $partrem) ? $partlen + 1 : $partlen;
$partition[$px] = array_slice( $list, $mark, $incr );
$mark += $incr;
}
return $partition;
}
$citylist = array( "Black Canyon City", "Chandler", "Flagstaff", "Gilbert", "Glendale", "Globe", "Mesa", "Miami",
"Phoenix", "Peoria", "Prescott", "Scottsdale", "Sun City", "Surprise", "Tempe", "Tucson", "Wickenburg" );
print_r( partition( $citylist, 3 ) );
?>

array_chunk
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)
array_chunk — 배열을 조각으로 나누기
설명
array array_chunk
( array
$input
, int $size
[, bool $preserve_keys
] )
배열을 size 크기 조각으로 나눕니다. 마지막 조각은
size 원소보다 적은 조각을 가질 수 있습니다.
인수
-
input -
작동할 배열
-
size -
각 조각의 크기
-
preserve_keys -
TRUE로 설정하면 키를 보존합니다. 기본값은FALSE로 조각 숫자로 다시 인덱스합니다.
반환값
0으로 시작하는 다차원 숫자 인덱스 배열을 반환합니다. 각 차원은
size 원소를 가집니다.
오류/예외
size가 1보다 작으면 E_WARNING이
발생하고 NULL을 반환합니다.
예제
Example #1 array_chunk() 예제
<?php
$input_array = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');
print_r(array_chunk($input_array, 2));
print_r(array_chunk($input_array, 2, true));
?>

To reverse an array_chunk, use array_merge, passing the chunks as a variadic:
<?php
$array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
$chunks = array_chunk($array, 3);
// $chunks = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
$de_chunked = array_merge(…$chunks);
// $de_chunked = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

If you just want to grab one chunk from an array, you should use array_slice().

Had need to chunk an object which implemented ArrayAccess Iterator Countable. array_chunk wouldn't do it. Should work for any list of things
<?php
$listOfThings = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13);
print_r(chunk_iterable($listOfThings, 4);
function chunk_iterable($listOfThings, $size) {
$chunk = 0;
$chunks = array_fill(0, ceil(count($listOfThings) / $size) - 1, array());
$index = 0;
foreach($listOfThings as $thing) {
if ($index && $index % $size == 0) $chunk++;
$chunks[$chunk][] = $thing;
$index++;
}
return $chunks;

Most easy way split array to parts
<?php
$arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
print_r(array_chunk($arr, ceil(count($arr) / 2)));
// return: [[1, 2, 3, 4, 5], [6, 7, 8, 9, 10]]
print_r(array_chunk($arr, ceil(count($arr) / 3)));
// return: [[1, 2, 3, 4], [5, 6, 7, 8], [9, 10]]

array_chunk() is helpful when constructing tables with a known number of columns but an unknown number of values, such as a calendar month. Example:
<?php
$values = range(1, 31);
$rows = array_chunk($values, 7);
print "<table>\n";
foreach ($rows as $row) {
print "<tr>\n";
foreach ($row as $value) {
print "<td>" . $value . "</td>\n";
}
print "</tr>\n";
}
print "</table>\n";
?>
Outputs:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
22 23 24 25 26 27 28
29 30 31
The other direction is possible too, with the aid of a function included at the bottom of this note. Changing this line:
$rows = array_chunk($values, 7);
To this:
$rows = array_chunk_vertical($values, 7);
Produces a vertical calendar with seven columns:
1 6 11 16 21 26 31
2 7 12 17 22 27
3 8 13 18 23 28
4 9 14 19 24 29
5 10 15 20 25 30
You can also specify that $size refers to the number of rows, not columns:
$rows = array_chunk_vertical($values, 7, false, false);
Producing this:
1 8 15 22 29
2 9 16 23 30
3 10 17 24 31
4 11 18 25
5 12 19 26
6 13 20 27
7 14 21 28
The function:
<?php
function array_chunk_vertical($input, $size, $preserve_keys = false, $size_is_horizontal = true)
{
$chunks = array();
if ($size_is_horizontal) {
$chunk_count = ceil(count($input) / $size);
} else {
$chunk_count = $size;
}
for ($chunk_index = 0; $chunk_index < $chunk_count; $chunk_index++) {
$chunks[] = array();
}
$chunk_index = 0;
foreach ($input as $key => $value)
{
if ($preserve_keys) {
$chunks[$chunk_index][$key] = $value;
} else {
$chunks[$chunk_index][] = $value;
}
if (++$chunk_index == $chunk_count) {
$chunk_index = 0;
}
}
return $chunks;
}

Hi, I've made a function to split an array into chunks based on columns wanted. For example:
<?php $a = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8); ?>
goal (say, for 3 columns):
<?php
array(
array(1,2,3),
array(4,5,6),
array(7,8)
);
?>
<?php
function get_array_columns($array, $columns){
$columns_map = array();
for($i=0; $i<$columns; $i++){ $columns_map[] = 0; }//init columns
//create map
$count = count($array);
$position = 0;
while($count > 0){
$columns_map[$position]++;
$position = ($position < $columns-1) ? ++$position : 0;
$count--;
}
//chunk the array based on map
$chunked = array();
foreach($columns_map as $map){
$chunked[] = array_splice($array,0,$map);
}
return $chunked;
}//end get_array_columns

[Editors note: This function was based on a previous function by gphemsley at nospam users dot sourceforge.net]
For those of you that need array_chunk() for PHP < 4.2.0, this function should do the trick:
<?php
if (!function_exists('array_chunk')) {
function array_chunk( $input, $size, $preserve_keys = false) {
@reset( $input );
$i = $j = 0;
while( @list( $key, $value ) = @each( $input ) ) {
if( !( isset( $chunks[$i] ) ) ) {
$chunks[$i] = array();
}
if( count( $chunks[$i] ) < $size ) {
if( $preserve_keys ) {
$chunks[$i][$key] = $value;
$j++;
} else {
$chunks[$i][] = $value;
}
} else {
$i++;
if( $preserve_keys ) {
$chunks[$i][$key] = $value;
$j++;
} else {
$j = 0;
$chunks[$i][$j] = $value;
}
}
}
return $chunks;
}
}

This function takes each few elements of an array and averages them together. It then places the averages in a new array. It is used to smooth out data. For example lets say you have a years worth of hit data to a site and you want to graph it by the week. Then use a bucket of 7 and graph the functions output.
function array_bucket($array, $bucket_size) // bucket filter
{
if (!is_array($array)) return false; // no empty arrays
$buckets=array_chunk($array,$bucket_size); // chop up array into bucket size units
foreach ($buckets as $bucket) $new_array[key($buckets])=array_sum($bucket)/count($bucket);
return $new_array; // return new smooth array

With no luck finding a function; here is the one I wrote:
It will evenly distribute items into a fixed amount of groups but also keeps items that were sorted close together to be in the same output groups.
<?php
function distributed_array_chunk(array $items, int $groups, bool $preserveKeys = false) {
$grouped = [];
$groupsPerItem = $groups / count($items);
$progress = 0.00;
foreach ($items as $key => $value) {
$index = floor($progress += $groupsPerItem);
if ($preserveKeys) {
$grouped[$index][$key] = $value;
}
else{
$grouped[$index][] = $value;
}
}
return $grouped;

Couldn't get the array_chunk_values() working, so ended up with this implementation:
<?php
function array_chunk_columns($data, $num_columns) {
$n = count($data);
$per_column = floor($n / $num_columns);
$rest = $n % $num_columns;
$columns = array();
$index = 0;
for ($i = 0; $i < $num_columns; $i++) {
// Add an extra item to each column while the column number is less than the
// remainder.
$add_rest = ($rest && ($i < $rest)) ? 1 : 0;
$number = $per_column + $add_rest;
$columns[] = array_slice($data, $index, $number);
$index += $number;
}
return $columns;
}
?>

Unfortunately, this function only accepts real arrays, not iterable objects... For that, you need this function:
<?php
function break_array($array, $page_size) {
$arrays = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($array as $index => $item) {
if ($i++ % $page_size == 0) {
$arrays[] = array();
$current = & $arrays[count($arrays)-1];
}
$current[] = $item;
}
return $arrays;
}
?>
