I Created this function based on my $array element of my question.

If this is a good aproach of my question please make some comments for like pointing my mistakes.

http://laravel.io/bin/VLJn this is the output.

private function createRange($array){
    sort($array);

    //Setting range limits.
    //Check if array has 5 digit number.
    $countDigitedNumbers = preg_grep('/\d{5}/',$array);
    if(count($countDigitedNumbers) > 3){
        $rangeLimits = array(0,1000,2500,5000,10000,15000,20000,25000);
    }else{
        $rangeLimits = array(0,50,250,500,1000,1500,2000,2500);
    }
    $ranges = array();

    for($i = 0; $i < count($rangeLimits); $i++){
        if($i == count($rangeLimits)-1){
            break;
        }
        $lowLimit = $rangeLimits[$i];
        $highLimit = $rangeLimits[$i+1];

        $ranges[$i]['ranges']['min'] = $lowLimit;
        $ranges[$i]['ranges']['max'] = $highLimit;

        foreach($array as $perPrice){
            if($perPrice >= $lowLimit && $perPrice < $highLimit){
                $ranges[$i]['values'][] = $perPrice;
            }
        }
    }
    return $ranges;
}
