[RESOLVED] take out repeat data array

[Mgccl]

an array defined like this, how do we take out the repeating data here
so, the array $data we defined as

$player0['id'] = 0; 
$player0['name'] = 'player0'; 

$player1['id'] = 1; 
$player1['name'] = 'player1'; 
//look, there are one repeated data, 2 player 0's 
$player2['id'] = 0; 
$player2['name'] = 'player0'; 

$data[$i]['team_id']= 0; 
$data[$i]['team'][] = $player0; 
$data[$i]['team'][] = $player1; 
$data[$i]['team'][] = $player2; 


//so now, $data[$i]['team'][0] and $data[$i]['team'][2] contains the same thing.... 

but now, I used Code: Code:

$data[$i]['team'] = array_unique($data[$i]['team']);

turns out that
$data[$i]['team'] will only contain ONE array, which is

$data[$i]['team'][0]['id']= 0; 
$data[$i]['team'][0]['name']= player0;

and all other arrays are gone...which is not what I wanted...
so what if, I only want to take out the 3rd one because the 3rd one have abosutlutely the same data as the 1st? what code shold I write then?

Well, I'd go for a somewhat different (and I think simplified) data structure:

$player0['id'] = 0;
$player0['name'] = 'player0';

$player1['id'] = 1;
$player1['name'] = 'player1';

$player2['id'] = 0;
$player2['name'] = 'player0';

$team[0]['name'] = 'Team Name';
$team[0]['player'][$player0['id']] = $player0['name'];
$team[0]['player'][$player1['id']] = $player1['name'];
$team[0]['player'][$player2['id']] = $player2['name'];

print_r($team);

thx, that was good, I used the same way but I made a new array key to it
