note 62765 added to function.array-unique

If you have a multi-dimensional array and wish to remove duplicates from a particular "column" as well as the corresponding values in the other "columns", you might find the following helpful. <?php function remove_dups($array, $index) { $array_count = count($array); $array_count_inner = count($array[$index]); for ($i=0; $i<$array_count_inner; $i++) { for ($j=$i+1; $j<$array_count_inner; $j++) { if ($array[$index][$i]==$array[$index][$j]) { for ($k=0; $k<$array_count; $k++) { unset($array[$k][$i]); } // end for } // end if } // end for } // end for return $array; } // end function remove_dups ?> ---- Server IP: 61.129.33.155 Probable Submitter: 218.18.63.236 ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/note/edit/62765 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/62765 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/62765 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
