Hey I'm trying to remove array results with dupes in one of the fields but I can't get it to work unless the entire array field is a dupe ie:
<?php
$items = array
(
'x' => array
(
'y' => array
(
0 => array
(
'ID' => 390517,
'Name' => 'Bill'
),
1 => array
(
'ID' => 390519,
'Name' => 'Mike'
),
2 => array
(
'ID' => 390533,
'Name' => 'Sam'
),
3 => array
(
'ID' => 390519,
'Name' => 'Mike'
)
)
)
);
/**
* remove dupes
*/
$a = $items['x']['y'];
$k = count($a);
for($i=0; $i < $k-1; $i++)
{
for($j=$i+1; $j < $k; $j++)
{
if ($a[$i] == $a[$j]) unset($a[$j]);
}
}
$items['x']['y'] = $a;
echo '<pre>', print_r($items, true), '</pre>';
?>This works and removes the dupe of [1] & [3] but sometimes the ID field is diff. but since the name is the same I still want that array field removed.. IE:
$items = array
(
'x' => array
(
'y' => array
(
0 => array
(
'ID' => 390519,
'Name' => 'Mike'
1 => array
(
'ID' => 392434,
'Name' => 'Mike'
)
)
)
);Should trigger a dupe and only print 1 array field. Any thoughts?
