Dividing Array Into 3 Equal Columns

I have a dynamic number of items in which I'll need to divide into 3 columns. Let's say I'm given this:

array("one", "InfoOne", "LibOne", 
      "two", "InfoTwo", "LibTwo", 
      "three", "InfoThree", "LibThree")

I need to generate array like this:

array( 
[0] = array("one", "InfoOne", "LibOne"),
[1] = array("two", "InfoTwo", "LibTwo"),
[2] = array("three", "InfoThre", "LibThree")
)

How could I do to put in an array, data with 3 equal columns?

Basically, do this:

$array = [
  "one", "InfoOne", "LibOne", 
  "two", "InfoTwo", "LibTwo", 
  "three", "InfoThree", "LibThree"];

print_r($new_array = array_chunk($array,3,true));

Should provide a nice new array with 3 and 3 values in multidimensional array.

try this....

$t1=array("one", "InfoOne", "LibOne", 
      "two", "InfoTwo", "LibTwo", 
      "three", "InfoThree", "LibThree");
      print_R(array_chunk($t1,3));

Output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => one
            [1] => InfoOne
            [2] => LibOne
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => two
            [1] => InfoTwo
            [2] => LibTwo
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => three
            [1] => InfoThree
            [2] => LibThree
        )

)

Using array_chunk() you can do this-

$ori = array("one", "InfoOne", "LibOne", 
      "two", "InfoTwo", "LibTwo", 
      "three", "InfoThree", "LibThree");
$chunked = array_chunk($ori, 3);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($chunked);
echo '</pre>';
