Hi,

I currently have an array, created from a database, an example of which looks like the following:

Array(
    [0] => Array (
        objectid => 2,
        name => title,
        value => apple
    ),

    [1] => Array (
        objectid => 2,
        name => colour,
        value => red
    ),

    [2] => Array (
        objectid => 3,
        name => title,
        value => pear
    ),

    [3] => Array (
        objectid => 3,
        name => colour,
        value => green
    )
)

What I would like to do is group all the items in the array by their objectid, and convert the 'name' values into keys and 'value' values into values of an associative array....like below:

Array (
    [0] => Array (
        objectid => 2,
        title => apple,
        colour => red
    ),

    [1] => Array (
        objectid => 3,
        title => pear,
        colour => green
    )
)

I've tried a few things but haven't really got anywhere.. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
