Hit count: 276
I am wanting to add each user into an array and check for duplicates before I do.
$spotcount = 10;
for ($topuser_count = 0; $topuser_count < $spotcount; $topuser_count++) //total spots
{
$spottop10 = $ids[$topuser_count];
$top_10 = $gowalla->getSpotInfo($spottop10);
$usercount = 0;
$c = 0;
$array = array();
foreach($top_10['top_10'] as $top10) //loop each spot
{
//$getuser = substr($top10['url'],7); //strip the url
$getuser = ltrim($top10['url'], " users/" );
if ($usercount < 3) //loop only certain number of top users
{
if (($getuser != $userurl) && (array_search($getuser, $array) !== true)) {
//echo " no duplicates! <br /><br />";
echo ' <a href= "http://gowalla.com'.$top10['url'].'"><img width="90" height="90" src= " '.$top10['image_url'].' " title="'.$top10['first_name'].'" alt="Error" /></a> ';
$array[$c++] = $getuser;
}
else {
//echo "duplicate <br /><br />";
}
}
$usercount++;
}
print_r($array);
}
The previous code prints:
Array ( [0] => 62151 [1] => 204501 [2] => 209368 ) Array ( [0] => 62151 [1] => 33116 [2] => 122485 ) Array ( [0] => 120728 [1] => 205247 [2] => 33116 ) Array ( [0] => 150883 [1] => 248551 [2] => 248558 ) Array ( [0] => 157580 [1] => 77490 [2] => 52046 )
Which is wrong. It does check for duplicates, but only the contents of each foreach loop instead of the entire array. How is this if I am storing everything into $array?
