how do i only show something once per loop

[jimbeeer]

Can anyone please help with this. It's late, my eyes are sore and my brain doesn't work any more!

 

I've got 3 variables (value, business_id, bus_id) that cycle through a foreach loop. Here are the results of one particular loop:

 

value:11 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:11 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:11 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:13 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:13 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:14 business_id:11 bus_id:11

value:11 business_id:13 bus_id:11

value:11 business_id:13 bus_id:13

value:11 business_id:13 bus_id:13

value:13 business_id:13 bus_id:13

value:13 business_id:13 bus_id:13

value:14 business_id:13 bus_id:13

value:11 business_id:14 bus_id:13

value:11 business_id:14 bus_id:14

value:11 business_id:14 bus_id:14

value:13 business_id:14 bus_id:14

value:13 business_id:14 bus_id:14

value:14 business_id:14 bus_id:14

 

I only want to display something ONCE each time all 3 values are equal.

 

I'm pretty sure it's not that difficult but it's that time of the evening where my brain has completely fried.

 

Any ideas?

 

I'm sure you have...

Code?

that's what I'm after. I just need a correct 'if' loop with some kind of trigger so it only displays each iteration of all the numbers equalling once.

 

 

Something along the lines of:

 

if (($bus_id == $row_get_Business['business_id']) && ($value == $row_get_Business['business_id'])) {

You could use array_unique to simplify your array - http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php

 

Then your loop would only have unique values.

No, POST your CODE. We can't help if you don't show us what you're doing.

[jimbeeer]

array_unique. That's what I was looking for. Didn't know it existed.

 

Thanks.

 

jesirose: I had no code to show you. At least none that worked. And what I did have would've just complicated things. I was just trying to discover the correct method of doing this.

*headdesk* in your post you said "I've got 3 variables (value, business_id, bus_id) that cycle through a foreach loop. Here are the results of one particular loop:"

So clearly you have some code.

 

Whatever is generating this data needs to be fixed.

[jimbeeer]

It's fixed.

 

Drongo_III was spot on.
