You can store the supplier_name in a variable and in the loop you can just compare the variable and supplier name. A simple approach is like this since you're using foreach()
$tmp_supplier_name = '';
foreach($prsdkgrids as $prsdkgrid){
echo ($tmp_supplier_name != $prsdkgrid->supplier_name) ? '<tr>SUppliername</tr>' : ''; //compare
$tmp_supplier_name = $prsdkgrid->supplier_name; //store the suppliername that was compared
}
Or another approach is try to manipulate your array and it should be something like this , much readable.
Array(
['supplierA'] =>
Array(
[0] => array(.....)
[1] => array(.....)
),
['supplierB'] =>
Array(
[0] => array(.....)
[1] => array(.....)
)
)
Recreate the array example:
$new_array = [];
$tmp_supplier_name = '';
foreach($prsdkgrids as $prsdkgrid){
if($tmp_supplier_name != $prsdkgrid->supplier_name){
$tmp_supplier_name = $prsdkgrid->supplier_name;
}else{
$new_array[$prsdkgrid->supplier_name]['opt1'] = $prsdkgrid->opt1;
$new_array[$prsdkgrid->supplier_name]['opt2'] = $prsdkgrid->opt2;
//and so on
}
}
