PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request
Bug description: Requesting array_unique() function that works with
multi-dimensional arrays.
Description:
------------
Requesting array_unique() function to work correctly with
multi-dimensional arrays (or a new function that does the same thing, so
as to retain backwards compatibility)
Script:
===================================================
<?php
$array = array (1 => array(1, 2, 3),
2 => array(1, 2),
3 => array(1, 3, 4),
4 => array(1, 2),
5 => array(1, 3, 4)
);
$array = array_unique ($array);
print_r ($array);
?>
===================================================
Current actual output:
===================================================
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/array_unique# ../../php5-200507102230/sapi/cli/php
./test.php
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
)
)
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/array_unique#
===================================================
Desired output:
===================================================
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/array_unique# ../../php5-200507102230/sapi/cli/php
./test.php
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
)
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
[5] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 3
[2] => 4
)
)
ludo:~/tmp/php-5.1-dev/array_unique#
===================================================
Note the order of the keys isn't a big concern to me, although others may
be concerned about this.
Various bogus bugs that people have logged when the encountering this
behaviour:
Bug #16715, Bug #12690, Bug #13403, Bug #10891, Bug #12789, Bug #12528
I couldn't see a feature request for this though, so that's what this is.
