I am trying to populate an array from a MySQL database. I think I
have the code correct to populate the array, but I need to somehow sort the
array eliminating duplicate values. I think I can loop through the array
doing a comparison and building a new array by discarding the value if it is
a duplicate, but I was not sure if there was a more efficient way of doing
this. I am already looping through the database query results, and I am
just thinking about efficiency here.
Here is a code sample with a little more description of what I am
attempting...
?php
do {
$entry = $list['id_sys'];
$id = split('-', $list['id_sys'], 1);
$sbcuid = $id[0];
$users[] = '$sbcuid';
} while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result));
?
This query pulls a value from the database that is a
username-hostname value. What I am working on is building a page that has a
unique list of usernames that link to a second page of user account
information. There may be twenty user account on different hosts for the
same username. I only want to have the username link created once on this
page. I hope that makes since to everyone. Thanks in advance for any help.
