Hello again, I have one further question about improving a validation.
Currently this will validate a string of words separated by commas, and
if it's greater than 9 will do something, or something else if less
than 9. How can I improve this, so before it does the checking remove
any duplicates in the string?
<?
$tmp = explode(',',$yo ur_str);
if (count($tmp) > 9) {
// do something
} else {
// do something else
}

$tmp = array_unique(ex plode(',', $your_str));
By the way, if it doesn't become unreadable to you, and you don't need
the $tmp variable later on, you could do away with $tmp and use this
directly:
if (count(array_un ique(explode(', ', $your_str))) > 9)

Hello! Well, I need to keep the original string intact with its comma
delimiters. I need this to read that string, remove all duplicate key
phrases, and then check if 9 or more unique key phrases are in there.
If it then passes it should do something, otherwise something else.

The posted code doesn't touch the original string.

I am still pulling my hair out with this. :O I don't want to lose the
commas, or keep it in an array right now, I want to store it in a
database with duplicates removed, so if someone inputs:
"green,blue,red ,blue,green"
I want to get back a string with:
"green,blue,red "

Hello everyone.
I'm not a JavaScript author myself, but I'm looking for a method to
remove duplicate words from a piece of text. This text would
presumably be pasted into a text box.
I have, for example, a list of town names, but there are hundreds of
duplicates, like:
"Aberdeen Aberdeen Aberdeen Edinburg Edinburg Inverness etc."

Hi All,
I have a fairly large table with approx 30K rows that updates every
night via a cron script that automatically downloads the 2 new csv's.
The problem is the files are downloaded from two completely different
systems and I've recently found duplicates!
To make matters worse, the two feeds do not share a common unique key.

I have a string of email addresses with duplicates. like
"abc@abc.com; cde@cde.com; abc@abc.com"
If I use this string with sendobject, the receiver will get it only once
which is perfect to me. I wonder if it will be the case with other mail
applications than Outlook Express. TIA
(BTW if somebody has code to delete duplicates in a string like this, it
would be appreciated.)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
