array_partition

This plugin provides the PHP function c2c_array_partition() to split an array into any number of sub-arrays, suitable for creating evenly distributed, vertically filled “columns”. Also known as “chunking” or “partitioning”.

For example:

$topics = array( "aardvark", "bear", "cat", "dog", "emu", "fox", "gnu", "hippo", "ibis", "jackal" );
print_r( c2c_array_partition( $topics, 4 ) );

Yields:

        (
            [0] => ant
            [1] => bear
            [2] => cat
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => dog
            [1] => emu
            [2] => fox
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => gnu
            [1] => hippo
        )
