Arrays - removing duplicating entries
Whats the best the way to elliminate the duplicate array entries?
Here's some sample data
I am comparing positions [1] [2] [3] [4]
Here is a solution I came up with:
Here's some sample data
I am comparing positions [1] [2] [3] [4]
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => effe7ec6a86cebbf6873de64ff54df36
[ID] => effe7ec6a86cebbf6873de64ff54df36
[1] => 15553075555
[TagPhone] => 1555305555
[2] => Bill
[TagSpokenName] => Bill
[3] => 29
[TimeZone_ID] => 29
[4] => bill@email.com
[TagEmail] => bill@email.com
[5] => 32
[ACCOUNT_ID] => 32
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 0d604cf13300a5253b7a317420f63f99
[ID] => 0d604cf13300a5253b7a317420f63f99
[1] => 15553075555
[TagPhone] => 155553075555
[2] => Bill
[TagSpokenName] => Bill
[3] => 0
[TimeZone_ID] => 0
[4] => bill@email.com
[TagEmail] => bill@email.com
[5] => 32
[ACCOUNT_ID] => 32
)
}
Here is a solution I came up with:
//Beginning array
$calllist
//Convert fields I want to compare to a string
$r=0;
while($r < count($calllist)-2 ){
$cltemp[$r] = $calllist[$r][1].$calllist[$r][2].$calll ist[$r][3].$calllist[$r][4];
$r++;
}
//Get the unique rows
$clunique = array_unique($cltemp);
//Get the keys of the unique rows
$uniquekeys = array_keys($clunique);
//Use the keys to create areduced array
//Reset the first level arrays (seems to matter later)
$r=0;
foreach($uniquekeys as $key){
$cltemp2[$r] = $calllist[$key];
$r++;
}
//save the result array back toi the original array so that the code
//that follows continues to work
$calllist = $cltemp2;
