How to merge sub-arrays based on first value php - php

Question

I have an array that is put together. It's basically 24 data points across 7 stations. Each station has a data point each hour and a new sub0array is created for each data point. The problem with this, is I now want to split the data up based on station so I can sort it. When I go to do that array_filter doesn't work for me. I wanted to basically combine all of the values that have the same row 0 result in each sub-array. but keep each data point based on them. Row 0 is the station name. Here is an example of what the array looks like. There are 160 sub arrays. All I need to do is combine them together based on Station name. I was going to do this based on Array value, but the problem is if a data-point is missing, it breaks that logic.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => STATIONONE
[1] => 02/22/15 04:00:00 PM
[2] => SW
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 4.51
)
[4] => MPH
[5] => Array
(
[0] => 16.1
)
[6] => MPH
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => STATIONONE
[1] => 02/22/15 05:00:00 PM
[2] => S
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 2.7
)
[4] => MPH
[5] => Array
(
[0] => 9.61
)
[6] => MPH
)
And it just keeps repeating till I have 23 Values. Then the next station.
So 0-22 subarray value = station 1
23-45 subarray value = station 2
etc.. just stating to help show what I am trying to do.

Answer 1

It isn't entirely clear what you expect your output to be, but this might get you there:
$entriesByStation = []
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
$entriesByStation[$entry[0]] = $entry;
}
This will group all the the entries by station name in the $entriesByStation array

Answer 2

The accepted answer got me close into figuring this out. I had to do this by station though. So I just created 7 foreach statements and created an array for each station. This way I can also merge the array together if needed.
# Parse our All Data and set station
foreach ($array as $entry) {
if ($entry[0] === "STATIONONE"){
$S1pkwsite = ($entry[0]);
$S1pkwvalue = ($entry[5][0]);
$S1pkwdate = ($entry[1]);
$S1pkwunit = ($entry[6]);
$S1wspvalue = ($entry[3][0]);
$S1wspunit = ($entry[4]);
$S1wdrvalue = ($entry[2]);
$S1pkwdataarray[] = array('SiteName'=>$S1pkwsite,'DATE'=>$S1pkwdate,'WDR'=>$S1wdrvalue,'VALUE'=>$S1pkwvalue,'UNIT'=>$S1pkwunit);
}
}
array_push ($Stationone_data, $pkwdataarray);
$Stationone_data = array_shift($Stationone_data);
