Have you tried anything yet? A simple foreach into another array should do it. — Nigel Ren

@AnuragSrivastava is right. It's literally 3 lines of code. Give it a try and if you don't make it i will post the answer for you. — pr1nc3

You can get the desired result using this approach

$res=[];
foreach($arr as $val){
  if(array_key_exists($val['emp_firstname'], $res))
    $res[$val['emp_firstname']]['sum'] = ($res[$val['emp_firstname']]['sum'] + $val['sum']);
  else
    $res[$val['emp_firstname']] = $val;
}
