Consume and cache the column value that you want to group by, then push the remaining data as a new subarray of the group you have created in the the result.

function array_group(array $data, $by_column)
{
    $result = [];
    foreach ($data as $item) {
        $column = $item[$by_column];
        unset($item[$by_column]);
        $result[$column][] = $item;
    }
    return $result;
}
