gabrielkolbe Posted May 8, 2006 Author Share Posted May 8, 2006 Hi, thanks for the answer, but it is not what I want, I don't want / need a SQL solution to the problem the solution must be a PHP solution.

ober Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 That's the most efficient way to achieve your required results, so that's what I provided. You didn't specify.array_unique will probably get you what you want, but I'm going to assume that's probably to simple for what you're after, so the only thing left is to copy used array values to a temp array and then use in_array to check that for "used" array values.
