How can I remove duplicate values from an array in PHP?
Use array_unique().
Example:
$array = array(1, 2, 2, 3);
$array = array_unique($array); // Array is now (1, 2, 3)
Use array_values(array_unique($array));
array_unique: for unique array
array_values: for reindexing
//Find duplicates
$arr = array(
'unique',
'duplicate',
'distinct',
'justone',
'three3',
'duplicate',
'three3',
'three3',
'onlyone'
);
$unique = array_unique($arr);
$dupes = array_diff_key( $arr, $unique );
// array( 5=>'duplicate', 6=>'three3' 7=>'three3' )
// count duplicates
array_count_values($dupes); // array( 'duplicate'=>1, 'three3'=>2 )
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value){
if(!in_array($value, $result))
$result[$key]=$value;
}
The only thing which worked for me is:
$array = array_unique($array, SORT_REGULAR);
Edit : SORT_REGULAR keeps the same order of the original array.
sometimes array_unique() is not the way,
if you want get unique AND duplicated items...
$unique=array("","A1","","A2","","A1","");
$duplicated=array();
foreach($unique as $k=>$v) {
if( ($kt=array_search($v,$unique))!==false and $k!=$kt )
{ unset($unique[$kt]); $duplicated[]=$v; }
}
sort($unique); // optional
sort($duplicated); // optional
results on
array ( 0 => '', 1 => 'A1', 2 => 'A2', ) /* $unique */
array ( 0 => '', 1 => '', 2 => '', 3 => 'A1', ) /* $duplicated */
We can easily use arrar_unique($array); to remove duplicate elements
But the problem in this method is that the index of the elements are not in order, will cause problems if used somewhere else later.
Use
$arr = array_unique($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);
print_r($arr);
Or
$arr = array_flip($arr);
$arr = array_flip($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);
print_r($arr);
The first flip , flips the key value pair thus combines the elements with similar key(that was originally the value).
2nd flip to revert all the key value pairs. Finally array_value() sets each value with key starting from 0.
Note: Not to be used in associative array with predefined key value pairs
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$b = array(1, 6, 5, 2, 9);
$c = array_merge($a, $b);
$unique = array_keys(array_flip($c));
print_r($unique);
We can create such type of array to use this last value will be updated into column or key value and we will get unique value from the array...
$array = array (1,3,4,2,1,7,4,9,7,5,9);
$data=array();
foreach($array as $value ){
$data[$value]= $value;
}
array_keys($data);
OR
array_values($data);
explode(",", implode(",", array_unique(explode(",", $YOUR_ARRAY))));
This will take care of key associations and serialize the keys for the resulting new array :-)
Depending on the size of your array, I have found
$array = array_values( array_flip( array_flip( $array ) ) );
can be faster than array_unique.
There can be multiple ways to do these, which are as follows
//first method
$filter = array_map("unserialize", array_unique(array_map("serialize", $arr)));
//second method
$array = array_unique($arr, SORT_REGULAR);
If you concern in performance and have simple array, use:
array_keys(array_flip($array));
It's many times faster than array_unique.
This example is just an alternative.

That's a great way to do it. Might want to make sure its output is back an array again. Now you're only showing the last unique value.
Try this:
$arrDuplicate = array ("","",1,3,"",5);
foreach (array_unique($arrDuplicate) as $v){
if($v != "") { $arrRemoved[] = $v; }
}
print_r ($arrRemoved);
if (#!in_array($classified->category,$arr)){
$arr[] = $classified->category;
?>
<?php } endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
first time check value in array and found same value ignore it
Remove duplicate values from an associative array in PHP.
$arrDup = Array ('0' => 'aaa-aaa' , 'SKU' => 'aaa-aaa' , '1' => '12/1/1' , 'date' => '12/1/1' , '2' => '1.15' , 'cost' => '1.15' );

$arrDuplicate = array ("","",1,3,"",5);
foreach(array_unique($arrDuplicate) as $v){
if($v != "" ){$arrRemoved = $v; }}
print_r($arrRemoved);
try this short & sweet code -

$unique = array();
foreach($array as $v){
isset($k[$v]) || ($k[$v]=1) && $unique[] = $v;
}
var_dump($unique);
Output -

<?php
$arr1 = [1,1,2,3,4,5,6,3,1,3,5,3,20];
print_r(arr_unique($arr1));
function arr_unique($arr) {

Here I've created a second empty array and used for loop with the first array which is having duplicates. It will run as many time as the count of the first array. Then compared with the position of the array with the first array and matched that it has this item already or not by using in_array. If not then it'll add that item to second array with array_push.
$a = array(1,2,3,1,3,4,5);
$count = count($a);
$b = [];
for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
if(!in_array($a[$i], $b)){
array_push($b, $a[$i]);
}
}
print_r ($b);
It can be done through function I made three function duplicate returns the values which are duplicate in array.
Second function single return only those values which are single mean not repeated in array and third and full function return all values but not duplicated if any value is duplicated it convert it to single;
function duplicate($arr) {
$duplicate;
$count = array_count_values($arr);
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
if ($count[$value] > 1) {
$duplicate[$value] = $value;
}
}
return $duplicate;
}
function single($arr) {
$single;
$count = array_count_values($arr);
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
if ($count[$value] == 1) {
$single[$value] = $value;
}
}
return $single;
}
function full($arr, $arry) {
$full = $arr + $arry;
sort($full);
return $full;
}
An alternative for array_unique() function..
Using Brute force algorithm
//[1] This our array with duplicated items
$matches = ["jorge","melvin","chelsy","melvin","jorge","smith"];
//[2] Container for the new array without any duplicated items
$arr = [];
//[3] get the length of the duplicated array and set it to the var len to be use for for loop
$len = count($matches);
//[4] If matches array key($i) current loop Iteration is not available in
//[4] the array $arr then push the current iteration key value of the matches[$i]
//[4] to the array arr.
for($i=0;$i
if(array_search($matches[$i], $arr) === false){
array_push($arr,$matches[$i]);
}
}
//print the array $arr.
print_r($arr);
//Result: Array
(
[0] => jorge
[1] => melvin
[2] => chelsy
[3] => smith
)
<?php
$a=array("1"=>"302","2"=>"302","3"=>"276","4"=>"301","5"=>"302");
print_r(array_values(array_unique($a)));
?>//`output -> Array ( [0] => 302 [1] => 276 [2] => 301 )`
I have done this without using any function.
$arr = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "4", "2", "1");
$len = count($arr);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$temp = $arr[$i];
$j = $i;
for ($k = 0; $k < $len; $k++) {
if ($k != $j) {
if ($temp == $arr[$k]) {
echo $temp."<br>";
$arr[$k]=" ";
}
}
}
}
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
echo $arr[$i] . " <br><br>";
}
$array = array("a" => "moon", "star", "b" => "moon", "star", "sky");
// Deleting the duplicate items
$result = array_unique($array);
print_r($result);

Let say we have 2 flowing arrays
$arr1= array('a' => "XL");
$arr2= array('a' => "XLd",'b'=>"CDW");
i need to assign $arr1 to $arr2 and make other keys empty whith a builtin function not foreach.
It should looks as bellow:
array(2) { ['a']=> string(2) "XL" ['b']=> string(0) ""}
thanks
This seems fun enough :)
<?php
$arr1= array('a' => "XL");
$arr2= array('a' => "XLd",'b'=>"CDW");
array_walk(
$arr2,
function (&$val ,$key) use ($arr1){
if (isset($arr1[$key])) {
$val = $arr1[$key];
} else {
$val = '';
}
}
);
print_r($arr2);
//Array
//(
//[a] => XL
//[b] =>
//)
See it here: https://3v4l.org/B7G5p
If I understand your question correctly, this should do:
$out = array_merge(
$arr2,
array_fill_keys(array_keys($arr2), ''),
$arr1
);
Another oneliner solution:
$arr2 = array_replace(array_map(function($n){return "";}, $arr2), $arr1);

I have two associative array.
$Array1 = array(
'abc'=> 'abc',
'def'=> 'def'
);
$Array2 = array(
'123'=> '123',
'456'=> '456'
);
I am merging them using array_merge.
$Array3 = array_merge($Array1, $Array2);
Now value of $Array3 is like this.
Array
(
[abc] => abc
[def] => def
[0] => 123
[1] => 456
)
It looks really odd until I read php manual which says Values in the input array with numeric keys will be renumbered with incrementing keys starting from zero in the result array. array_merge manual
My questing How can I merge both array without loosing their associative keys.
Both array can have common KEYS and I don't want to loose my information also. :(
By +:
$Array1 = array(
'abc'=> 'abc',
'def'=> 'def'
);
$Array2 = array(
'123'=> '123',
'456'=> '456'
);
var_dump($Array1 + $Array2);
This will preserve the index, but note this will not overwrite the value of the first array if same key exists in first array.
And if you want the overwrite working, then there is array_replace function for this:
var_dump(array_replace($Array1, $Array2));
Try this code :) it will work
function my_merge($array1,$array2)
{
foreach($array2 as $key => $value)
{
$array1[$key] = $value;
}
return $array1;
}
$Array1 = array(
'abc'=> 'abc',
'def'=> 'def'
);
$Array2 = array(
'123'=> '123',
'456'=> '456'
);
$Array3 = my_merge($Array1, $Array2);
For associative arrays, use
$result = $Array1 + $Array2;
-but note, that for numeric keys this will also re-index:
$Array1 = array(
'abc',
'def'=> 'def'
);
$Array2 = array(
'123',
'456'
);
var_dump($Array1 + $Array2);
//array(3) { [0]=> string(3) "abc" ["def"]=> string(3) "def" [1]=> string(3) "456" }
If you have same keys in your arrays, you can use:
$result = array_reduce(array_keys($Array1), function($c, $x) use ($Array1)
{
$c[$x] = isset($c[$x])
?array_merge((array)$c[$x], [$Array1[$x]])
:$Array1[$x];
return $c;
}, $Array2);
Is there a simpler way to get all array keys that has same value, when the value is unknown.
The problem with array_unique is that it returns the unique array and thus it doesn't find unique values.
That is, for example, from this array:
Array (
[a]=>1000
[b]=>1
[c]=>1000
)
I want to get this
Array (
[a]=>1000
[c]=>1000
)
Another way around this is, if I could find the lonely values, and then their keys, and then use array_diff
This is what I've got so far, looks awful:
$a = array( 'a' => 1000, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 1000 );
$b = array_flip( array_count_values( $a ) );
krsort( $b );
$final = array_keys( $a, array_shift( $b ) );
Update
Using Paulo Freites' answer as a code base, I could get it working pretty easily, maintainable and easy on eyes kind of way… by using the filtering as a static class method I can get the duplicate values from an array by just calling ClassName::get_duplicates($array_to_filter)
private static $counts = null;
private static function filter_duplicates ($value) {
return self::$counts[ $value ] > 1;
}
public static function get_duplicates ($array) {
self::$counts = array_count_values( $array );
return array_filter( $array, 'ClassName::filter_duplicates' );
}
Taking advantage of closures for a more straightforward solution:
$array = array('a' => 1000, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 1000);
$counts = array_count_values($array);
$filtered = array_filter($array, function ($value) use ($counts) {
return $counts[$value] > 1;
});
var_dump($filtered);
This gave me the following:
array(2) {
["a"]=>
int(1000)
["c"]=>
int(1000)
}
Demo: https://eval.in/67526
That's all! :)
Update: backward-compatible solution
$array = array('a' => 1000, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 1000);
$counts = array_count_values($array);
$filtered = array_filter($array, create_function('$value',
'global $counts; return $counts[$value] > 1;'));
var_dump($filtered);
Demo: https://eval.in/68255
Your implementation has a few issues.
1) If there are 2 of value 1000 and 2 of another value, the array_flip will lose one of the sets of values.
2) If there are more than two different values, the array_keys will only find the one value that occurs most.
3) If there are no duplicates, you will still bring back one of the values.
Something like this works always and will return all duplicate values:
<?php
//the array
$a = array( 'a' => 1000, 'b' => 1, 'c' => 1000 );
//count of values
$cnt = array_count_values($a);
//a new array
$newArray = array();
//loop over existing array
foreach($a as $k=>$v){
//if the count for this value is more than 1 (meaning value has a duplicate)
if($cnt[$v] > 1){
//add to the new array
$newArray[$k] = $v;
}
}
print_r($newArray);

If you want to get the duplicates in an array try this:
array_unique(array_diff_assoc($array1, array_unique($array1)))
I found this from:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php#95203
at the moment I cant figure out another solution...
// target array
$your_array = array('a'=>1000, 'b'=>1, 'c'=>1000);
// function to do all the job
function get_duplicate_elements($array) {
$res = array();
$counts = array_count_values($array);
foreach ($counts as $id=>$count) {
if ($count > 1) {
$r = array();
$keys = array_keys($array, $id);
foreach ($keys as $k) $r[$k] = $id;
$res[] = $r;
}
}
return sizeof($res) > 0 ? $res : false;
}
// test it
print_r(get_duplicate_elements($your_array));
output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[a] => 1000
[c] => 1000
)
)
example #2: - when you have different values multiplied
// target array
$your_array = array('a'=>1000, 'b'=>1, 'c'=>1000, 'd'=>500, 'e'=>1);
// output
print_r(get_duplicate_elements($your_array));
output:
Array

if function result has been assigned to $res variable $res[0] gets an array of all elements from original array with first value found more than once, $res[1] gets array of elements with another duplicated-value, etc... function returns false if nothing duplicate has been found in argument-array.
Try this
$a = array( 'a' => 1, 'b' => 1000, 'c' => 1000,'d'=>'duplicate','e'=>'duplicate','f'=>'ok','g'=>'ok' );
$b = array_map("unserialize", array_unique(array_map("serialize", $a)));
$c = array_diff_key($a, $b);
$array = array("1"=>"A","2"=>"A","3"=>"A","4"=>"B","5"=>"B","6"=>"B");
$val = array_unique(array_values($array));
foreach ($val As $v){
$dat[$v] = array_keys($array,$v);
}
print_r($dat);
How can I remove duplicate values from an array in PHP?
Use array_unique().
Example:
$array = array(1, 2, 2, 3);
$array = array_unique($array); // Array is now (1, 2, 3)
Use array_values(array_unique($array));
array_unique: for unique array
array_values: for reindexing
//Find duplicates
$arr = array(
'unique',
'duplicate',
'distinct',
'justone',
'three3',
'duplicate',
'three3',
'three3',
'onlyone'
);
$unique = array_unique($arr);
$dupes = array_diff_key( $arr, $unique );
// array( 5=>'duplicate', 6=>'three3' 7=>'three3' )
// count duplicates
array_count_values($dupes); // array( 'duplicate'=>1, 'three3'=>2 )
$result = array();
foreach ($array as $key => $value){
if(!in_array($value, $result))
$result[$key]=$value;
}
The only thing which worked for me is:
$array = array_unique($array, SORT_REGULAR);
Edit : SORT_REGULAR keeps the same order of the original array.
sometimes array_unique() is not the way,
if you want get unique AND duplicated items...
$unique=array("","A1","","A2","","A1","");
$duplicated=array();
foreach($unique as $k=>$v) {
if( ($kt=array_search($v,$unique))!==false and $k!=$kt )
{ unset($unique[$kt]); $duplicated[]=$v; }
}
sort($unique); // optional
sort($duplicated); // optional
results on
array ( 0 => '', 1 => 'A1', 2 => 'A2', ) /* $unique */
array ( 0 => '', 1 => '', 2 => '', 3 => 'A1', ) /* $duplicated */
We can easily use arrar_unique($array); to remove duplicate elements
But the problem in this method is that the index of the elements are not in order, will cause problems if used somewhere else later.
Use
$arr = array_unique($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);
print_r($arr);
Or
$arr = array_flip($arr);
$arr = array_flip($arr);
$arr = array_values($arr);
print_r($arr);
The first flip , flips the key value pair thus combines the elements with similar key(that was originally the value).
2nd flip to revert all the key value pairs. Finally array_value() sets each value with key starting from 0.
Note: Not to be used in associative array with predefined key value pairs
$a = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$b = array(1, 6, 5, 2, 9);
$c = array_merge($a, $b);
$unique = array_keys(array_flip($c));
print_r($unique);
We can create such type of array to use this last value will be updated into column or key value and we will get unique value from the array...
$array = array (1,3,4,2,1,7,4,9,7,5,9);
$data=array();
foreach($array as $value ){
$data[$value]= $value;
}
array_keys($data);
OR
array_values($data);
explode(",", implode(",", array_unique(explode(",", $YOUR_ARRAY))));
This will take care of key associations and serialize the keys for the resulting new array :-)
Depending on the size of your array, I have found
$array = array_values( array_flip( array_flip( $array ) ) );
can be faster than array_unique.
There can be multiple ways to do these, which are as follows
//first method
$filter = array_map("unserialize", array_unique(array_map("serialize", $arr)));
//second method
$array = array_unique($arr, SORT_REGULAR);
If you concern in performance and have simple array, use:
array_keys(array_flip($array));
It's many times faster than array_unique.
This example is just an alternative.

That's a great way to do it. Might want to make sure its output is back an array again. Now you're only showing the last unique value.
Try this:
$arrDuplicate = array ("","",1,3,"",5);
foreach (array_unique($arrDuplicate) as $v){
if($v != "") { $arrRemoved[] = $v; }
}
print_r ($arrRemoved);
if (#!in_array($classified->category,$arr)){
$arr[] = $classified->category;
?>
<?php } endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
first time check value in array and found same value ignore it

Here I've created a second empty array and used for loop with the first array which is having duplicates. It will run as many time as the count of the first array. Then compared with the position of the array with the first array and matched that it has this item already or not by using in_array. If not then it'll add that item to second array with array_push.
$a = array(1,2,3,1,3,4,5);
$count = count($a);
$b = [];
for($i=0; $i<$count; $i++){
if(!in_array($a[$i], $b)){
array_push($b, $a[$i]);
}
}
print_r ($b);
It can be done through function I made three function duplicate returns the values which are duplicate in array.
Second function single return only those values which are single mean not repeated in array and third and full function return all values but not duplicated if any value is duplicated it convert it to single;
function duplicate($arr) {
$duplicate;
$count = array_count_values($arr);
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
if ($count[$value] > 1) {
$duplicate[$value] = $value;
}
}
return $duplicate;
}
function single($arr) {
$single;
$count = array_count_values($arr);
foreach($arr as $key => $value) {
if ($count[$value] == 1) {
$single[$value] = $value;
}
}
return $single;
}
function full($arr, $arry) {
$full = $arr + $arry;
sort($full);
return $full;
}
As an alternative of array_unique() you may use php Set class
$array = array(1, 2, 2, 3);
$array = (new \Ds\Set($array))->toArray() ; // Array is now (1, 2, 3)
An alternative for array_unique() function..
Using Brute force algorithm
//[1] This our array with duplicated items
$matches = ["jorge","melvin","chelsy","melvin","jorge","smith"];
//[2] Container for the new array without any duplicated items
$arr = [];
//[3] get the length of the duplicated array and set it to the var len to be use for for loop
$len = count($matches);
//[4] If matches array key($i) current loop Iteration is not available in
//[4] the array $arr then push the current iteration key value of the matches[$i]
//[4] to the array arr.
for($i=0;$i
if(array_search($matches[$i], $arr) === false){
array_push($arr,$matches[$i]);
}
}
//print the array $arr.
print_r($arr);
//Result: Array
(
[0] => jorge
[1] => melvin
[2] => chelsy
[3] => smith
)
<?php
$a=array("1"=>"302","2"=>"302","3"=>"276","4"=>"301","5"=>"302");
print_r(array_values(array_unique($a)));
?>//`output -> Array ( [0] => 302 [1] => 276 [2] => 301 )`
I have done this without using any function.
$arr = array("1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "4", "2", "1");
$len = count($arr);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$temp = $arr[$i];
$j = $i;
for ($k = 0; $k < $len; $k++) {
if ($k != $j) {
if ($temp == $arr[$k]) {
echo $temp."<br>";
$arr[$k]=" ";
}
}
}
}
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
echo $arr[$i] . " <br><br>";
}
$array = array("a" => "moon", "star", "b" => "moon", "star", "sky");
// Deleting the duplicate items
$result = array_unique($array);
print_r($result);
