I wrote a function to remove all duplicate values from a multi-dimensional array, but in a global way for the given array. A lot of functions in the previous contributions do the work only for one column or like mcmeijer's function for the subarrays at the last level. But what I wanted is a function that do on an entire multi-dimensional array exactly what do the array_unique function on a single dimensional one : take an input array and returns a new array without duplicate values. function arrayUniqueFull($myArray) { static $valuesArray = Array(); $newArray = Array(); if (is_array($myArray)) { foreach($myArray as $key=>$val) { if (is_array($val)) { $newArray[$key] = arrayUniqueFull($val); } else { if (!in_array($val, $valuesArray)) { $newArray[$key] = $val; $valuesArray[] = $val; } } } } return $newArray; } ---- Server IP: 194.246.101.61 Probable Submitter: 193.48.189.201 ---- 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/64553 Del: integrated -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/integrated Del: useless -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/useless Del: bad code -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/bad+code Del: spam -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/spam Del: non-english -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/non-english Del: in docs -- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553/in+docs Del: other reasons-- http://master.php.net/note/delete/64553 Reject -- http://master.php.net/note/reject/64553 Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
