absolutely never trust this functing in a production environment. It improperly removed non-duplicate IDs from an array resulting in a billing undercharge on a production environment - the exact opposite bug caused by in_array behaving badly that using this function was meant to solve. Always use in_array with the strict option and everything properly cast - if you must use array_unique implement your own with strict in_array and casting. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+58854 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+58854&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+58854&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
