Duplicate array strings

$rambo[1]="daffy duck";
$rambo[2]="mad max";
$rambo[3]="daffy duck";
$rambo[4]="superman";
etc etc

How do i remove duplicate strings from a array ? .

('daffy duck' could appear more than twice in the array)

I can already do it via a luddite loop - but figure there must be a
better/easier way of doing it .

You don't deserve an answer at all then.

Dito.

While Jerry can be quite harsh from time to time, he is also damned good
with PHP, and what is more: an active usefull contributor to this group.
comp.lang.php wouldn't be the same without him. ;-)

/me salutes Jerry.

cool, is that drowning in a lake and demanding that certain people be
excluded from tossing you a life preserver?

The manual is quite elusive isn't it?

Re: Duplicate array strings

As a regular Stuckle follower/lapdog/whatever I would have suggested
you use:

array_intersect or related array searching commands such as:

array_intersect_assoc()
array_diff()
array_diff_assoc()

So if you do not wish to taint yourself with Stuckle advice, I'd
suggest refraining from using any of the above functions.

Have a great day!
