<?php
class FileOwners
{
    public static function groupByOwners($files)
    {
        return NULL;
    }
}

$files = array
(
    "Input.txt" => "Randy",
    "Code.py" => "Stan",
    "Output.txt" => "Randy"
);
var_dump(FileOwners::groupByOwners($files));

Implement a groupByOwners function that:
1.Accepts an associative array containing the file owner name for each file name.
2.Returns an associative array containing an array of file names for each owner name, in any order.

What I have tried:

Quote:
For example that I thought, for associative array ["Input.txt" => "Randy", "Code.py" => "Stan", "Output.txt" => "Randy"] the groupByOwners function should return ["Randy" => ["Input.txt", "Output.txt"], "Stan" => ["Code.py"]].

You will need an associative array where each key is associated with an array of files, to achieve this, try this:

public static function groupByOwners($files)
{
	foreach($files as $file => $name) {
		
		if (isset($newArray[$name])) {
            // if key exists, add to its array of elements
			array_push($newArray[$name], $file);
		} else {
            // else create a new array element
			$newArray[$name] = array($file);
		}
	}

	return $newArray;
}
