Как найти дубли в массиве php

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

array_uniqueRemoves duplicate values from an array

Description

array_unique(array $array, int $flags = SORT_STRING): array

Note that keys are preserved. If multiple elements compare equal under
the given flags, then the key and value of
the first equal element will be retained.

Note:

Two elements are considered equal if and only if
(string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 i.e.
when the string representation is the same, the first element will be used.

Parameters

array

The input array.

flags

The optional second parameter flags
may be used to modify the comparison behavior using these values:

Comparison type flags:

  • SORT_REGULAR — compare items normally
    (don’t change types)
  • SORT_NUMERIC — compare items numerically
  • SORT_STRING — compare items as strings
  • SORT_LOCALE_STRING — compare items as
    strings, based on the current locale.

Return Values

Returns the filtered array.

Changelog

Version Description
7.2.0 If flags is SORT_STRING,
formerly array has been copied and non-unique
elements have been removed (without packing the array afterwards), but
now a new array is built by adding the unique elements. This can result
in different numeric indexes.

Examples

Example #1 array_unique() example


<?php
$input
= array("a" => "green", "red", "b" => "green", "blue", "red");
$result = array_unique($input);
print_r($result);
?>

The above example will output:

Array
(
    [a] => green
    [0] => red
    [1] => blue
)

Example #2 array_unique() and types


<?php
$input
= array(4, "4", "3", 4, 3, "3");
$result = array_unique($input);
var_dump($result);
?>

The above example will output:

array(2) {
  [0] => int(4)
  [2] => string(1) "3"
}

Notes

Note:

Note that array_unique() is not intended to
work on multi dimensional arrays.

Create multidimensional array unique for any single key index.

e.g I want to create multi dimentional unique array for specific code

Code :

My array is like this,

<?php

$details
= array(

   
0 => array("id"=>"1", "name"=>"Mike",    "num"=>"9876543210"),

   
1 => array("id"=>"2", "name"=>"Carissa", "num"=>"08548596258"),

   
2 => array("id"=>"1", "name"=>"Mathew""num"=>"784581254"),

);

?>



You can make it unique for any field like id, name or num.

I have develop this function for same :

<?php

function unique_multidim_array($array, $key) {

   
$temp_array = array();

   
$i = 0;

   
$key_array = array();

   
    foreach(

$array as $val) {

        if (!
in_array($val[$key], $key_array)) {

           
$key_array[$i] = $val[$key];

           
$temp_array[$i] = $val;

        }

       
$i++;

    }

    return
$temp_array;

}

?>



Now, call this function anywhere from your code,

something like this,

<?php

$details
= unique_multidim_array($details,'id');

?>



Output will be like this :

<?php

$details
= array(

   
0 => array("id"=>"1","name"=>"Mike","num"=>"9876543210"),

   
1 => array("id"=>"2","name"=>"Carissa","num"=>"08548596258"),

);

?>

modified code originally posted by Ghanshyam Katriya(anshkatriya at gmail) [highest voted comment here].

1. In php 7.4 counter $i breaks the function. Removed completely (imo was waste of keystrokes anyway).
2. I added second return value - array of duplicates. So you can take both and compare them (I had to).

Example array (copy-paste from original post):
<?php
$details
= array(
   
0 => array("id"=>"1", "name"=>"Mike",    "num"=>"9876543210"),
   
1 => array("id"=>"2", "name"=>"Carissa", "num"=>"08548596258"),
   
2 => array("id"=>"1", "name"=>"Mathew""num"=>"784581254"),
);
?>

Function:
<?php
function unique_multidim_array($array, $key) : array {
   
$uniq_array = array();
   
$dup_array = array();
   
$key_array = array();

    foreach(

$array as $val) {
        if (!
in_array($val[$key], $key_array)) {
           
$key_array[] = $val[$key];
           
$uniq_array[] = $val;
/*
            # 1st list to check:
            # echo "ID or sth: " . $val['building_id'] . "; Something else: " . $val['nodes_name'] . (...) "n";
*/
       
} else {
           
$dup_array[] = $val;
/*
            # 2nd list to check:
            # echo "ID or sth: " . $val['building_id'] . "; Something else: " . $val['nodes_name'] . (...) "n";
*/
       
}
    }
    return array(
$uniq_array, $dup_array, /* $key_array */);
}
?>

Usage:
<?php
list($unique_addresses, $duplicates, /* $unique_keys */) = unique_multidim_array($details,'id');
?>

Then:
var_dump($unique_addresses);
or
var_dump($duplicates);
or foreach or whatever. Personally I just echo-ed 1st and then 2nd (both DOUBLE COMMENTED) list in function itself (then copied both to notepad++ and compared them - just to be 100% sure), but in case you want to do something else with it - enjoy :)
Plus - as a bonus - you also get an array of UNIQUE keys you searched for (just uncomment >$key_array< in both: function return and function call code).

From example array code returns:
var_dump($unique_addresses);
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["name"]=>
    string(4) "Mike"
    ["num"]=>
    string(10) "9876543210"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(1) "2"
    ["name"]=>
    string(7) "Carissa"
    ["num"]=>
    string(11) "08548596258"
  }
}

var_dump($duplicates);
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    string(1) "1"
    ["name"]=>
    string(6) "Mathew"
    ["num"]=>
    string(9) "784581254"
  }
}

Plus keys, if you want.

P.S.: in my - practical - case of DB querying I got around 4k uniques and 15k dupes :)

I find it odd that there is no version of this function which allows you to use a comparator callable in order to determine items equality (like array_udiff and array_uintersect). So, here's my version for you:

<?php
function array_uunique(array $array, callable $comparator): array {
   
$unique_array = [];
    do {
       
$element = array_shift($array);
       
$unique_array[] = $element;$array = array_udiff(
           
$array,
            [
$element],
           
$comparator
       
);
    } while (
count($array) > 0);

    return

$unique_array;
}
?>

And here is a test code:

<?php
class Foo {

    public

$a;

    public function

__construct(int $a) {
       
$this->a = $a;
    }
}
$array_of_objects = [new Foo(2), new Foo(1), new Foo(3), new Foo(2), new Foo(2), new Foo(1)];$comparator = function (Foo $foo1, Foo $foo2): int {
    return
$foo1->a <=> $foo2->a;
};
var_dump(array_uunique($array_of_objects, $comparator)); // should output [Foo(2), Foo(1), Foo(3)]
?>

In reply to performance tests array_unique vs foreach.

In PHP7 there were significant changes to Packed and Immutable arrays resulting in the performance difference to drop considerably. Here is the same test on php7.1 here;
http://sandbox.onlinephpfunctions.com/code/2a9e986690ef8505490489581c1c0e70f20d26d1

$max = 770000; //large enough number within memory allocation
$arr = range(1,$max,3);
$arr2 = range(1,$max,2);
$arr = array_merge($arr,$arr2);

$time = -microtime(true);
$res1 = array_unique($arr);
$time += microtime(true);
echo "deduped to ".count($res1)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 513333 in 1.0876770019531

$time = -microtime(true);
$res2 = array();
foreach($arr as $key=>$val) {   
    $res2[$val] = true;
}
$res2 = array_keys($res2);
$time += microtime(true);
echo "<br />deduped to ".count($res2)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 513333 in 0.054931879043579

It's often faster to use a foreache and array_keys than array_unique:

    <?php

    $max

= 1000000;

   
$arr = range(1,$max,3);

   
$arr2 = range(1,$max,2);

   
$arr = array_merge($arr,$arr2);
$time = -microtime(true);

   
$res1 = array_unique($arr);

   
$time += microtime(true);

    echo
"deduped to ".count($res1)." in ".$time;

   
// deduped to 666667 in 32.300781965256
$time = -microtime(true);

   
$res2 = array();

    foreach(
$arr as $key=>$val) {   

       
$res2[$val] = true;

    }

   
$res2 = array_keys($res2);

   
$time += microtime(true);

    echo
"<br />deduped to ".count($res2)." in ".$time;

   
// deduped to 666667 in 0.84372591972351
?>

I needed to identify email addresses in a data table that were replicated, so I wrote the array_not_unique() function:

<?phpfunction array_not_unique($raw_array) {
   
$dupes = array();
   
natcasesort($raw_array);
   
reset ($raw_array);$old_key    = NULL;
   
$old_value    = NULL;
    foreach (
$raw_array as $key => $value) {
        if (
$value === NULL) { continue; }
        if (
$old_value == $value) {
           
$dupes[$old_key]    = $old_value;
           
$dupes[$key]        = $value;
        }
       
$old_value    = $value;
       
$old_key    = $key;
    }
return
$dupes;
}
$raw_array     = array();
$raw_array[1]    = 'abc@xyz.com';
$raw_array[2]    = 'def@xyz.com';
$raw_array[3]    = 'ghi@xyz.com';
$raw_array[4]    = 'abc@xyz.com'; // Duplicate$common_stuff    = array_not_unique($raw_array);
var_dump($common_stuff);
?>

Taking the advantage of array_unique, here is a simple function to check if an array has duplicate values.

It simply compares the number of elements between the original array and the array_uniqued array.

<?php
function array_has_duplicates(array $array)

{

   
$uniq = array_unique($array);

    return
count($uniq) != count($array);

}
?>

Case insensitive; will keep first encountered value.

<?php
function array_iunique($array) {

   
$lowered = array_map('strtolower', $array);

    return
array_intersect_key($array, array_unique($lowered));

}
?>

As for PHP 7.1.12, this is the comparison between array_keys(array_flip()), array_flip(array_flip()), for each elimination and array_unique. The array_keys(array_flip()) is the fastest method to remove duplication values from a single dimension array:

<?php

$max

= 1000000;
$arr = range(1,$max,3);
$arr2 = range(1,$max,2);
$arr = array_merge($arr,$arr2);$time = -microtime(true);
$res1 = array_unique($arr);
$time += microtime(true);

echo

"<br>deduped to ".count($res1)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 666667 in 0.78185796737671
// memory used: 33558528
$time = -microtime(true);
$res2 = array_flip(array_flip($arr));
$time += microtime(true);

echo

"<br><br>deduped to ".count($res2)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 666667 in 0.072191953659058
// memory used: 3774873
$time = -microtime(true);
$res3 = array();
foreach(
$arr as $key=>$val) {
   
$res3[$val] = true;
}
$res3 = array_keys($res3);
$time += microtime(true);

echo

"<br /><br>deduped to ".count($res3)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 666667 in 0.095494985580444
// memory used: 33558528
$time = -microtime(true);
$res4 = array_keys(array_flip($arr));
$time += microtime(true);

echo

"<br /><br>deduped to ".count($res4)." in ".$time;
// deduped to 666667 in 0.05807900428772
// memory used: 33558528

Here is a solution to make unique values keeping empty values for an array with keys :

<?php
function array_unique_kempty($array) {
   
$values = array_unique($array);
   
$return = array_combine(array_keys($array), array_fill(0,count($array),null));
    return
array_merge($return,$values);
}
$myArray = [
   
"test1" => "aaa",
   
"test2" => null,
   
"test3" => "aaa",
   
"test4" => "bbb",
   
"test5" => null,
   
"test6" => "ccc",
   
"test7" => "ddd",
   
"test8" => "ccc"
];

echo

"<pre>".print_r(array_unique_kempty($myArray),true)."</pre>";/*
Array
(
    [test1] => aaa
    [test2] =>
    [test3] =>
    [test4] => bbb
    [test5] =>
    [test6] => ccc
    [test7] => ddd
    [test8] =>
)
*/
?>

Following the Ghanshyam Katriya idea, but with an array of objects, where the $key is related to object propriety that you want to filter the uniqueness of array:

<?php
function obj_multi_unique($obj, $key = false)
    {
       
$totalObjs = count($obj);
        if (
is_array($obj) && $totalObjs > 0 && is_object($obj[0]) && ($key && !is_numeric($key))) {
            for (
$i = 0; $i < $totalObjs; $i++) {
                if (isset(
$obj[$i])) {
                    for (
$j = $i + 1; $j < $totalObjs; $j++) {
                        if (isset(
$obj[$j]) && $obj[$i]->{$key} === $obj[$j]->{$key}) {
                            unset(
$obj[$j]);
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
            return
array_values($obj);
        } else {
            throw new
Exception('Invalid argument or your array of objects is empty');
        }
    }
?>

recursive array unique for multiarrays

<?php
function super_unique($array)
{
 
$result = array_map("unserialize", array_unique(array_map("serialize", $array)));

  foreach (

$result as $key => $value)
  {
    if (
is_array($value) )
    {
     
$result[$key] = super_unique($value);
    }
  }

  return

If you find the need to get a sorted array without it preserving the keys, use this code which has worked for me:

<?php

$array

= array("hello", "fine", "good", "fine", "hello", "bye");
$get_sorted_unique_array = array_values(array_unique($array));
?>



The above code returns an array which is both unique and sorted from zero.

My object unique function:

<?php
function object_unique( $obj ){
   
$objArray = (array) $obj;$objArray = array_intersect_assoc( array_unique( $objArray ), $objArray );

    foreach(

$obj as $n => $f ) {
        if( !
array_key_exists( $n, $objArray ) ) unset( $obj->$n );
    }

    return

$obj;
}
?>

And these code:

<?php
class Test{
    public
$pr0 = 'string';
    public
$pr1 = 'string1';
    public
$pr2 = 'string';
    public
$pr3 = 'string2';
}
$obj = new Test;var_dump( object_unique( $obj ) );
?>

returns:
object(Test)[1]
  public 'pr0' => string 'string' (length=6)
  public 'pr1' => string 'string1' (length=7)
  public 'pr3' => string 'string2' (length=7)

This is a script for multi_dimensional arrays

<?php

function remove_dup($matriz) {

   
$aux_ini=array();

   
$entrega=array();

    for(
$n=0;$n<count($matriz);$n++)

    {

       
$aux_ini[]=serialize($matriz[$n]);

    }

   
$mat=array_unique($aux_ini);

    for(
$n=0;$n<count($matriz);$n++)

    {
$entrega[]=unserialize($mat[$n]);

       
    }

    return

$entrega;

}

?>

another method to get unique values is :

<?php

$alpha
=array('a','b','c','a','b','d','e','f','f');
$alpha= array_keys(array_count_values($alpha));
print_r($alpha);

?>



Output:

Array ( [0] => a [1] => b [2] => c [3] => d [4] => e [5] => f )

so .... my problem was multidimensional sort.

<?php

      $new
= array();

     
$exclude = array("");

      for (
$i = 0; $i<=count($attribs)-1; $i++) {

         if (!
in_array(trim($attribs[$i]["price"]) ,$exclude)) { $new[] = $attribs[$i]; $exclude[] = trim($attribs[$i]["price"]); }

      }
?>



Array $attribs is an array contaning arrays. Each array in the $attrib array consists in multiple fields (ex: name, lenght, price, etc.) to be more simpler in speech think that $attrib is the array resulted by a search sql query done by a visitator on your online shoopping website ... (so ... each array in the $attrib is a product :P) if you want to sort only the uniq results use the above or use this:

<?php
/* Our Array of products */

  
$attribs[] = array(

                          
"name"         => "Test Product 1",

                          
"length"     => "42 cm",

                          
"weight"     => "0,5 kg",

                          
"price"     => "10 $",

                          
"stock"     => "100",

                        );
$attribs[] = array(

                          
"name"         => "Test Product 2",

                          
"length"     => "42 cm",

                          
"weight"     => "1,5 kg",

                          
"price"     => "10 $",

                          
"stock"     => "200",

                        );
/* The nice stuff */
$new = array();

     
$exclude = array("");

      for (
$i = 0; $i<=count($attribs)-1; $i++) {

         if (!
in_array(trim($attribs[$i]["price"]) ,$exclude)) { $new[] = $attribs[$i]; $exclude[] = trim($attribs[$i]["price"]); }

      }
print_r($new); // $new is our sorted array
?>



Have fun tweaking this ;)) i know you will ;))

[Editor's note: please note that this will not work well with non-scalar values in the array. Array keys can not be arrays themselves, nor streams, resources, etc. Flipping the array causes a change in key-name]

You can do a super fast version of array_unique directly in PHP, even faster than the other solution posted in the comments!

Compared to the built in function it is 20x faster! (2x faster than the solution in the comments).

<?php

function superfast_array_unique($array) {

    return
array_keys(array_flip($array));

}

?>



This works faster for small and big arrays.

Simple and clean way to get duplicate entries removed from a multidimensional array.

<?php
          $multi_array
= $multi_array [0];
         
$multi_array = array_unique($multi_array);
         
print_r($multi_array);
?>

Another way to 'unique column' an array, in this case an array of objects:
Keep the desired unique column values in a static array inside the callback function for array_filter.

Example:
<?php
/* example object */
class myObj {
  public
$id;
  public
$value;
  function
__construct( $id, $value ) {
   
$this->id = $id;
   
$this->value = $value;
  }
}
/* callback function */
function uniquecol( $obj ) {
  static
$idlist = array();

  if (

in_array( $obj->id, $idlist ) )
    return
false;$idlist[] = $obj->id;
  return
true;   
}
/* a couple of arrays with second array having an element with same id as the first */
$list  = array( new myObj( 1, ), new myObj( 2, 100 ) );
$list2 = array( new myObj( 1, 10 ), new myObj( 3, 100 ) );
$list3 = array_merge( $list, $list2 );$unique = array_filter( $list3, 'uniquecol' );
print_r( $list3 );
print_r( $unique );?>

In addition, use array_merge( $unique ) to reindex.

I found the simplest way to "unique" multidimensional arrays as follows:

<?php

$array

= array(
   
'a' => array(1, 2),
   
'b' => array(1, 2),
   
'c' => array(2, 2),
   
'd' => array(2, 1),
   
'e' => array(1, 1),
);
$array = array_map('json_encode', $array);
$array = array_unique($array);
$array = array_map('json_decode', $array);print_r($array);?>

As you can see "b" will be removed without any errors or notices.

I searched how to show only the de-duplicate elements from array, but failed.

Here is my solution:

<?php

function arrayUniqueElements($array)

{

return
array_unique(array_diff_assoc($array1,array_unique($array1)));

};

?>



Example:

<?php

$arr1
= array('foo', 'bar', 'xyzzy', '&', 'xyzzy',

'baz', 'bat', '|', 'xyzzy', 'plugh',

'xyzzy', 'foobar', '|', 'plonk', 'xyzzy',

'apples', '&', 'xyzzy', 'oranges', 'xyzzy',

'pears','foobar');
$result=arrayUniqueElements($arr1);

print_r($result);exit;

?>



Output:

Array

(

[4] => xyzzy

[12] => |

[16] => &

[21] => foobar

)

The following is an efficient, adaptable implementation of array_unique which always retains the first key having a given value:

<?php

function array_unique2(&$aray) {

   
$aHash = array();

    foreach (
$aray as $key => &$val) if (@$aHash[$val]++) unset ($aray[$key]);

It is also adaptable to multi dimensional arrays.  For example, if your array is a sequence of (multidimensional) points, then in place of @$aHash[$val]++ you could use @$aHash[implode("X",$val)]++

If you want to not have holes in your array, you can do an array_merge($aray) at the end.

Because of PHP comparaisons modalities, you can never distinguish null from others falsy values.
Note the absorbing nature of true and false booleans in mix types array.

<?php

$a

= [true, false, null, '', '0', '123', 0, 123];
foreach ([
'SORT_REGULAR', 'SORT_NUMERIC', 'SORT_STRING', 'SORT_LOCALE_STRING'] as $flag) {
   
$a_new = array_unique($a, constant($flag));
    echo
"{$flag} ==> ";
   
var_dump($a_new);
}
/*

Gives :

SORT_REGULAR ==> array(2) {
  [0]=> bool(true)
  [1]=> bool(false)
}
SORT_NUMERIC ==> array(3) {
  [0]=> bool(true)
  [1]=> bool(false)
  [5]=> string(3) "123"
}
SORT_STRING ==> array(4) {
  [0]=> bool(true)
  [1]=> bool(false)
  [4]=> string(1) "0"
  [5]=> string(3) "123"
}
SORT_LOCALE_STRING ==> array(4) {
  [0]=> bool(true)
  [1]=> bool(false)
  [4]=> string(1) "0"
  [5]=> string(3) "123"
}

array_unique is not compatible with php 8.1 enums because enums don't have a string representation yet (even the BackedEnum of string type…).
You get an error: "Object of class XXXX could not be converted to string."

So I wrote this function that creates a string representation of the enums and use the array keys to remove duplicates:

<?phpfunction array_unique_81(array $values): array
{
   
$unique = [];
    foreach (
$values as $value) {
        if (
$value instanceof UnitEnum) {
           
$key = 'e:' . get_class($value) . ':' . $value->name;
        } else {
           
$key = 's:' . (string)$value;
        }
       
$unique[$key] = $value;
    }
    return
array_values($unique);
}
?>

Although array_unique is not intended to work with multi-dimensional arrays, it does on 5.2.9.  However, it does not for 5.2.5.  Beware.

I had a problem with array_unique and multidimensional arrays ... Maybe there's a better way to do this, but this will work for any dimensional arrays.

<?php

function arrayUnique($myArray)

{

    if(!
is_array($myArray))

           return
$myArray;

    foreach (

$myArray as &$myvalue){

       
$myvalue=serialize($myvalue);

    }
$myArray=array_unique($myArray);

    foreach (

$myArray as &$myvalue){

       
$myvalue=unserialize($myvalue);

    }

    return

$myArray;

}

?>

Here's the shortest line of code I could find/create to remove all duplicate entries from an array and then reindex the keys.

<?php
// Fruits, vegetables, and other food:

$var = array('apple','banana','carrot','cat','dog','egg','eggplant','fish');
$var = array_values(array_unique($var));

?>

Problem:

I have loaded an array with the results of a database

query.  The Fields are 'FirstName' and 'LastName'.

I would like to find a way to contactenate the two

fields, and then return only unique values for the

array.  For example, if the database query returns

three instances of a record with the FirstName John

and the LastName Smith in two distinct fields, I would

like to build a new array that would contain all the

original fields, but with John Smith in it only once.

Thanks for: Colin Campbell

Solution:

<?php

/**

* The same thing than implode function, but return the keys so

*

* <code>

* $_GET = array('id' => '4587','with' => 'key');

* ...

* echo shared::implode_with_key('&',$_GET,'='); // Resultado: id=4587&with=key

* ...

* </code>

*

* @param string $glue Oque colocar entre as chave => valor

* @param array $pieces Valores

* @param string $hifen Separar chave da array do valor

* @return string

* @author memandeemail at gmail dot com

*/

function implode_with_key($glue = null, $pieces, $hifen = ',') {

 
$return = null;

  foreach (
$pieces as $tk => $tv) $return .= $glue.$tk.$hifen.$tv;

  return
substr($return,1);

}
/**

* Return unique values from a tree of values

*

* @param array $array_tree

* @return array

* @author memandeemail at gmail dot com

*/

function array_unique_tree($array_tree) {

 
$will_return = array(); $vtemp = array();

  foreach (
$array_tree as $tkey => $tvalue) $vtemp[$tkey] = implode_with_key('&',$tvalue,'=');

  foreach (
array_keys(array_unique($vtemp)) as $tvalue) $will_return[$tvalue] = $array_tree[$tvalue];

  return
$will_return;

}
$problem = array_fill(0,3,

array(
'FirstName' => 'John', 'LastName' => 'Smith')

);
$problem[] = array('FirstName' => 'Davi', 'LastName' => 'S. Mesquita');

$problem[] = array('FirstName' => 'John', 'LastName' => 'Tom');
print_r($problem);
print_r(array_unique_tree($problem));

?>


Performance-Optimized Solution

If you care about performance and micro-optimizations, check this one-liner:

function no_dupes(array $input_array) {
    return count($input_array) === count(array_flip($input_array));
}

Description:
Function compares number of array elements in $input_array with array_flip’ed elements. Values become keys and guess what — keys must be unique in associative arrays so not unique values are lost and final number of elements is lower than original.

Warning:
As noted in the manual, array keys can be only type of int or string so this is what you must have in original array values to compare, otherwise PHP will start casting with unexpected results. See https://3v4l.org/7bRXI for an example of this fringe-case failure mode.

  • The accepted solution by Mike Sherov: 2.0736091136932s 🐌🐌
  • This answer’s solution: 0.14155888557434s 🐌/10

Test case:

<?php

$elements = array_merge(range(1,10000000),[1]);

$time = microtime(true);
accepted_solution($elements);
echo 'Accepted solution: ', (microtime(true) - $time), 's', PHP_EOL;

$time = microtime(true);
most_voted_solution($elements);
echo 'Most voted solution: ', (microtime(true) - $time), 's', PHP_EOL;

$time = microtime(true);
this_answer_solution($elements);
echo 'This answer solution: ', (microtime(true) - $time), 's', PHP_EOL;

function accepted_solution($array){
 $dupe_array = array();
 foreach($array as $val){
  // sorry, but I had to add below line to remove millions of notices
  if(!isset($dupe_array[$val])){$dupe_array[$val]=0;}
  if(++$dupe_array[$val] > 1){
   return true;
  }
 }
 return false;
}

function most_voted_solution($array) {
   return count($array) !== count(array_unique($array));
}

function this_answer_solution(array $input_array) {
    return count($input_array) === count(array_flip($input_array));
}

Notice that accepted solution might be faster in certain condition when not unique values are near the beginning of huge array.

I would like to know, how can we detect the duplicate entries in array…

Something like

$array = array("192.168.1.1", "192.168.2.1","192.168.3.1","192.168.4.1","192.168.2.1","192.168.2.1","192.168.10.1","192.168.2.1","192.168.11.1","192.168.1.4") ;

I want to get the number of Duplicity used in array (C class unique).
like this

192.168.1.1 = unique
192.168.2.1 = Duplicate
192.168.3.1 = unique
192.168.4.1 = unique
192.168.2.1 = Duplicate
192.168.2.1 = Duplicate
192.168.10.1 = unique
192.168.2.1 = Duplicate
192.168.11.1 = unique
192.168.1.4 = Duplicate (Modified)

I tried this code like this style

$array2 = array() ;

foreach($array as $list ){

$ips = $list;

$ip = explode(".",$ips);

$rawip = $ip[0].".".$ip[1].".".$ip[2] ;

array_push($array2,$rawip);

}

but i am unable to set the data in right manner and also unable to make the loop for matching the data.

modified values

Thanks

    Many times while writing programs or development we need to filter arrays to remove duplicates. PHP provides us with an inbuilt function to do this, making things easy for us. The array_unique() is a built-in function in PHP and this function removes duplicate values from an array. If there are multiple elements in the array with same values then the first appearing element will be kept and all other occurrences of this element will be removed from the array.

    Also, according to this function two elements are considered equal if and only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 i.e. when the string representation of the elements is the same.

    Syntax:

    array array_unique($array , $sort_flags)
    

    Note: The keys of array are preserved. That is, the keys of the not removed elements of the input array will be same in the output array.

    Parameters: This function accepts two parameters out of which one is mandatory and the other is optional. Both of these parameters are described below:

    1. $array: This parameter is mandatory to be supplied and it specifies the input array from which we want to remove duplicates.
    2. $sort_flags: This is optional parameter. This parameter $sort_flags may be used to modify the sorting behavior using these values:
      • SORT_REGULAR: This is the default value of the parameter $sort_flags. This value tells the function to compare items normally (don’t change types).
      • SORT_NUMERIC: This value tells the function to compare items numerically.
      • SORT_STRING: This value tells the function to compare items as strings.
      • SORT_LOCALE_STRING: This value tells the function to compare items as strings, based on the current locale.

    Return Value: The array_unique() function returns the filtered array after removing all duplicates from the array.

    Below programs illustrate the array_unique() function in PHP:

    Example-1:

    <?php

    $a=array("red", "green", "red", "blue");

    print_r(array_unique($a));

    ?>

    Output:

    Array
    (
        [0] => red
        [1] => green
        [3] => blue
    )

    Example-2:

    <?php

    $arr = array("a"=>"MH", "b"=>"JK", "c"=>"JK", "d"=>"OR");

    print_r(array_unique($arr));

    ?>

    Output:

    Array
    (
        [a] => MH
        [b] => JK
        [d] => OR
    )
    

    Important points to note:

    • The array_unique() is not intended to work on multi dimensional arrays.
    • The keys of the input array are preserved.
    • According to this function two elements are considered equal if their string representation is same.

    Оказывается, очень частая задача в тестовых заданиях соискателей — это поиск дубля в массиве. В зависимости от нюансов конкретного задания, могут просить:

    • найти все дубли или один единственный дубль;
    • использовать в решении самый быстрый алгоритм;
    • найти вообще все повторяющиеся варианты.

    Я рассмотрю здесь частное решение (целых три варианта), которое вы подкрутите для своего случая. Это поиск единственного дубля в массиве чисел.

    Итак, пусть $A — произвольный массив чисел. Напишем функцию, которая ищет близнеца или возвращает FALSE.

    Скоростной вариант

    Самый первый и самый быстрый вариант поиска — это положиться только на функции PHP без каких либо свои циклов и ветвлений.

    function array_find_twins($A) {

       $N = array_flip(array_count_values($A));

       return isset($N[2]) ? $N[2] : FALSE;

    }

    Мы посчитали число значений, а потом просто вывернули массив. Если дублей было несколько — останется только один. Если нужно другое число повторений — используйте другой ключ на выходе (не 2, а 3, 4..).

    PHP гораздо быстрее работает внутри собственных откомпилированных функций, нежели с вашими алгоритмами, какими бы они не были гениальными.

    Вариант с сортировкой

    Здесь мы сортируем массив, чтобы потом «вручную» просканировать его и найти рядом стоящих близнецов.

    Так мы обнаружим любое повторяющееся произвольное число раз значение (т.е. тройняшек,  и т.д.)

    function array_find_twins2($A) {

       sort($A, SORT_NUMERIC);

       $last = 1;

       foreach($A as $value) {

          if ($last == $value) {

             return $value;

          }

          $last = $value;

       }

       return FALSE;

    }

    Если по условиям задачи массив уже отсортирован, то sort() можно убрать. Останется сканер массива, быстродействие которого линейно зависит от размеров массива.

    В среднем, этот вариант в 2-3 раза медленнее предыдущего (на диапазоне от 1к до 100 к элементов).

    Перекладываем из одной корзины в другую

    Самый тормозной, неэффективный из трех.

    Мы перебираем вх. массив ($A), складывая элементы в другой ($B). Но если в нем ($B) уже есть искомое значение, то вуаля! мы нашли близнеца.

    function array_find_twins3($A) {

       $B = array();

       $last = 1;

       foreach($A as $value) {

          if (in_array($value, $B)) return $value;

          $B[] = $value;

       }

       return FALSE;

    }

    В некоторых случаях, такая конструкция бывает востребована. Например, когда вы должны провести какие вычисления с каждым элементом, а потом уже принимать решение об эквивалентности.

    Этот вариант  на 2 порядка хуже первого решения.

    Если у вас есть другие варианты — присылайте :).
