How do I search for 2 similar value in an array and combine them....

PHP Code:

// From this....
Array
        (
            [1] => Barry
            [2] => Chris
            [3] => Fish
            [4] => Fish
            [5] => Fish
            [6] => Yeah
        )
 
// To this...
Array
        (
            [1] => Barry
            [2] => Chris
            [3] => Fish
            [4] => Yeah
        )

Use 'array_unique' to do this. See http://us3.php.net/function.array-unique

Hmm.... it's what I want but....
I want to know which keys are afffected. Coz I need to sync with another array.

[NeverMind]

remember that array_unique() returns a new array after it's been processed!
so the original array still exists and you can do some comparsion to know which are the affected ones

the key is always about creativity..
