How to group subarrays by a column value?

Question

I have the following array

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 96
            [shipping_no] => 212755-1
            [part_no] => reterty
            [description] => tyrfyt
            [packaging_type] => PC
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 96
            [shipping_no] => 212755-1
            [part_no] => dftgtryh
            [description] => dfhgfyh
            [packaging_type] => PC
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 97
            [shipping_no] => 212755-2
            [part_no] => ZeoDark
            [description] => s%c%s%c%s
            [packaging_type] => PC
        )

)

How can I group the array by id? Is there any native php functions are available to do this?

While this approach works, I want to do this using a foreach, since with the above I will get duplicate items, which I'm trying to avoid?

On the above example id have 2 items, so its need to be inside of the id

There is no native one, just use a loop.

$result = array();
foreach ($data as $element) {
    $result[$element['id']][] = $element;
}
