I have a function that is supposed to split my array into smaller, evenly distributed arrays, however it seems to be duplicating my data along the way. If anyone can help me out that'd be great.
Here's the original array:
Array

Here's the php function which is meant to split the array:
function split_array($array, $slices) {
$perGroup = floor(count($array) / $slices);
$Remainder = count($array) % $slices ;
$slicesArray = array();
$i = 0;
while( $i < $slices ) {
$slicesArray[$i] = array_slice($array, $i * $perGroup, $perGroup);
$i++;
}
if ( $i == $slices ) {
if ($Remainder > 0 && $Remainder < $slices) {
$z = $i * $perGroup +1;
$x = 0;
while ($x < $Remainder) {
$slicesRemainderArray = array_slice($array, $z, $Remainder+$x);
$remainderItems = array_merge($slicesArray[$x],$slicesRemainderArray);
$slicesArray[$x] = $remainderItems;
$x++;
$z++;
}
}
};
return $slicesArray;
}
Here's the result of the split (it somehow duplicates items from the original array into the smaller arrays):

^^ As you can see there are duplicates from the original array in the newly created smaller arrays.
I thought I could remove the duplicates using a multi-dimensional remove duplicate function but that didn't work. I'm guessing my problem is in the array_split function.
Any suggestions? :)
