construct your array like this

$arrToGroup[] = array("month"=>"January",'5 beers', '6 pepsi);
$arrToGroup[] array("month"=>"February", '1 bred');
$arrToGroup[] = array("month"=>"",'2 bananas');

if you cannot change your constructor code

<?
$arrToGroup = array('5 beers|January', '6 pepsi|January', '1 bred|February', '2 bananas');
$newarray = array();
foreach ($arrToGroup as $val):
	$vals = array();
	if (!strpos($val, "|")): //test for a pipe
		$newarray[] = array("month"=>"", $val);
	else:
		$vals = explode("|",$val);
		$newarray[] = array("month"=>$vals[1], $vals[0]);
	endif;
endforeach;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($newarray);
echo "</pre>";
?>

sorry:

<?
$arrToGroup = array('5 beers|January', '6 pepsi|January', '1 bred|February', '2 bananas');
$newarray = array();
foreach ($arrToGroup as $val):
    $vals = array();
    if (!strpos($val, "|")): //test for a pipe
        $newarray["blankmonth"][] = $val;
    else:
        $vals = explode("|",$val);
        $newarray[$vals[1]][] = $vals[0];
    endif;
endforeach;

foreach ($newarray as $month=>$val):
	$month = $month=="blankmonth"?"":$month;
	$final[] = array_merge(array("month"=>$month), $val);
endforeach;
echo "<pre>";
print_r($final);
echo "</pre>";
?>
