PHP - single dimension array to a multidimensional

Question

I'm using jquery to send a serialized single dimensional array to my php script.

Upon arriving at the server: The array should be transformed into a multidimensional array where every 2 values in the original array are a new row.

   $oldarray

looks like (value1, value2, value3, value4)

  $newarray =array();

Should look like

(   Value1, Value2
    Value3, Value4  )

Any suggestions?

What is the purpose of having them on new lines? That won't change how the data is handled in php. To make it a multidimensional array you would have to push each array into another. — emsoff

You can use array_chunk for this:

 $newarray = array_chunk($oldarray, 2);

The first example on the linked doc page shows this exact use case.
