Note Submitter: kazan at cs dot iastate dot edu ---- 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.
