Maybe this is what you are looking for:
collection($items)
// I only care about elements having the id = a or id = b
->filter(function ($value, $key) use ($array) {
return isset($array[$value['id']]); // If the key is in the array,
the it should be kept in the collection
})
/// Let's now index the collection by the id
->groupBy('id')
// Finally, let's reduce the collection to list of strings per key
->reduce(function ($result, $value) {
return $result . ', ' . $value['title'];
}, '')
I have created this gist for better
readability: https://gist.github.com/lorenzo/9198544013a9ca067689
Hope this helps!
