如果你有一个这样的数组:

(users是数组的名称)

Array=>
 [0] => (array)
   'user' => 'john'
   'age' => '23'
 [1] => (array)
  'user' => 'jane'
  'age' => '20'
 [2]=> (array)
  'user' => 'john'
  'age' => '23'

如果你想删除重复的文件，那么:

$serialized = array();
for ($i=0; $i < sizeof($users); $i++) { 
  $test = in_array($users['user'], $serialized);
    if ($test == false) {
      $serialized[] = $users['user'];
    }
 }

可以是一个解决方案:P

如果"remove duplicate "的意思是"remove duplicate，但保留一个"，一个解决方案可能是首先在"identifier column"上应用array_unique(…)，然后在原始数组中删除所有已从列数组中删除的键:

$array = [
    [
        'id' => '123',
        'foo' => 'aaa',
        'bar' => 'bbb'
    ],
    [
        'id' => '123',
        'foo' => 'ccc',
        'bar' => 'ddd'
    ],
    [
        'id' => '567',
        'foo' => 'eee',
        'bar' => 'fff'
    ]
];

$ids = array_column($array, 'id');
$ids = array_unique($ids);
$array = array_filter($array, function ($key, $value) use ($ids) {
    return in_array($value, array_keys($ids));
}, ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH);

结果是:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 123
            [foo] => aaa
            [bar] => bbb
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 567
            [foo] => eee
            [bar] => fff
        )

)

一个简单的解决方案，可能不是最有效的:

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;

} 

对此，array_unique()文档上的用户注释提供了许多解决方案。这是其中之一:

kenrbnsn at rbnsn dot com 27-Sep-2005 12:09 Yet another Array_Unique for multi-demensioned arrays. I've only tested this on two-demensioned arrays, but it could probably be generalized for more, or made to use recursion. This function uses the serialize, array_unique, and unserialize functions to do the work. function multi_unique($array) { foreach ($array as $k=>$na) $new[$k] = serialize($na); $uniq = array_unique($new); foreach($uniq as $k=>$ser) $new1[$k] = unserialize($ser); return ($new1); }

序列化和惟一的替代方案

$test = [ ['abc','def'], ['ghi','jkl'], ['mno','pql'], ['abc','def'], ['ghi','jkl'], ['mno','pql'], ]; $result = array_reduce( $test, function($carry,$item){ if(!in_array($item,$carry)) { array_push($carry,$item); } return $carry; }, [] ); var_dump($result); /* php unique.php array(3) { [0] => array(2) { [0] => string(3) "abc" [1] => string(3) "def" } [1] => array(2) { [0] => string(3) "ghi" [1] => string(3) "jkl" } [2] => array(2) { [0] => string(3) "mno" [1] => string(3) "pql" } } */

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 1
            [name] => john
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2
            [name] => smith
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [id] => 3
            [name] => john
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [id] => 4
            [name] => robert
        )

)

$temp = array_unique(array_column($array, 'name'));
$unique_arr = array_intersect_key($array, $temp);

这将从数组中删除重复的名称。按键唯一
