Get the keys for duplicate values in an array
I'll answer the second question first. You want to use array_keys
with the "search_value" specified.
$keys = array_keys($array, "2011-06-29")
In the example below, $duplicates
will contain the duplication values while $result
will contain ones that are not duplicates. To get the keys, simply use array_keys
.
<?php
$array = array(
'a',
'a',
'b',
'c',
'd'
);
// Unique values
$unique = array_unique($array);
// Duplicates
$duplicates = array_diff_assoc($array, $unique);
// Unique values
$result = array_diff($unique, $duplicates);
// Get the unique keys
$unique_keys = array_keys($result);
// Get duplicate keys
$duplicate_keys = array_keys(array_intersect($array, $duplicates));
Result:
// $duplicates
Array
(
[1] => a
)
// $result
Array
(
[2] => b
[3] => c
[4] => d
)
// $unique_keys
Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => 3
[2] => 4
)
// $duplicate_keys
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
$array = array(0 => "1", 1 => "1", 2 => "2", 3 => "3");
$count = array();
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if(!isset($count[$value])) {
$count[$value] = 0;
}
$count[$value]++;
}
$result = array_filter($count, function($value) {
return $value > 1;
});
$result = array_keys($result);
var_dump($result);
Output
array(1) {
[0]=>
int(1)
}
function get_keys_for_duplicate_values($my_arr, $clean = false) {
if ($clean) {
return array_unique($my_arr);
}
$dups = $new_arr = array();
foreach ($my_arr as $key => $val) {
if (!isset($new_arr[$val])) {
$new_arr[$val] = $key;
} else {
if (isset($dups[$val])) {
$dups[$val][] = $key;
} else {
$dups[$val] = array($key);
// Comment out the previous line, and uncomment the following line to
// include the initial key in the dups array.
// $dups[$val] = array($new_arr[$val], $key);
}
}
}
return $dups;
}
obviously the function name is a bit long;)
Now $dups will contain a multidimensional array keyed by the duplicate value, containing each key that was a duplicate, and if you send "true" as your second argument it will return the original array without the duplicate values.
Alternately you could pass the original array as a reference and it would adjust it accordingly while returning your duplicate array
I had a similar problem as question #1 from the OP. All I needed were the keys for duplicate values in my original array. Here's what I came up with:
$array = array('yellow', 'red', 'green', 'brown', 'red', 'brown');
$counts = array_count_values($array);
$filtered = array_filter($counts, function($value) {
return $value != 1;
});
$result = array_keys(array_intersect($array, array_keys($filtered)));
And for the output:
print_r($result);
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 3
[2] => 4
[3] => 5
)
