                                        </div>

this is source code:

"response": [

{

    "fixture": 

{},
"league": 
{

    "id": 200,
    "name": "Botola Pro",
    "country": "Morocco",
    "logo": "https://media.api-sports.io/football/leagues/115.png",
    "flag": "https://media.api-sports.io/flags/ma.svg",
    "season": 2019,
    "round": "Regular Season - 14"

},
"teams": 
{

    "home": 

{

    "id": 967,
    "name": "Rapide Oued ZEM",
    "logo": "https://media.api-sports.io/football/teams/967.png",
    "winner": false

},
"away": 

    {}

},
"goals": 
{},
"score": 

        {}
    }

]

so i would like print all data by country, if for example i have results with country:

• italy
• italy
• england
• france
• england
• italy
• france

i need to group:

• italy
• italy
• italy
• france
• france
• england
• england

Answer 1

try this

$out =[];

        foreach($a['response'] as $itemcampfix) 
        { 
            $out[$itemcampfix['league']['country']][] = [
                'matchid' => $itemcampfix['fixture']['id'],
                'match_league' => $itemcampfix['league']['country'],
                'stato' => $itemcampfix['fixture']['status']['long'],
                'stato_minuto' => $itemcampfix['fixture']['status']['elapsed'],
                'match_hometeam' => $itemcampfix['teams']['home']['name'],
                'match_hometeamlogo' => $itemcampfix['teams']['home']['logo'],
                'match_hometeamgoals' => $itemcampfix['goals']['home'],
                'match_awayteam' => $itemcampfix['teams']['away']['name'],
                'match_awayteamlogo' => $itemcampfix['teams']['away']['logo'],
                'match_awayteamgoals' => $itemcampfix['goals']['away']
            ];
        }
        sort($out);
        
        foreach($out as $country)
        {
            foreach ($country as $key => $item)
            {
                echo $item['match_league'].'<br/>';
                var_dump($item);
            }
            
        }
