php - Get the keys for duplicate values in an array

Question

I have the following array:

$myarray = Array("2011-06-21", "2011-06-22", "2011-06-22", "2011-06-23", "2011-06-23", "2011-06-24", "2011-06-24", "2011-06-25", "2011-06-25", "2011-06-26");
var_dump($myarray);

Result:

Array (
    [0] => 2011-06-21
    [1] => 2011-06-22
    [2] => 2011-06-22
    [3] => 2011-06-23
    [4] => 2011-06-23
    [5] => 2011-06-24
    [6] => 2011-06-24
    [7] => 2011-06-25
    [8] => 2011-06-25
    [9] => 2011-06-26
)

1. Now how can I display the keys with duplicate values? Here the function should NOT return ([0],[9]) since there are no duplicates with the values.
2. How to find the keys for the same value, eg. for "2011-06-25" it should return [7],[8]

Answer 1

function get_keys_for_duplicate_values($my_arr, $clean = false) {
    if ($clean) {
        return array_unique($my_arr);
    }

    $dups = $new_arr = array();
    foreach ($my_arr as $key => $val) {
      if (!isset($new_arr[$val])) {
         $new_arr[$val] = $key;
      } else {
        if (isset($dups[$val])) {
           $dups[$val][] = $key;
        } else {
           $dups[$val] = array($key);
           // Comment out the previous line, and uncomment the following line to
           // include the initial key in the dups array.
           // $dups[$val] = array($new_arr[$val], $key);
        }
      }
    }
    return $dups;
}

obviously the function name is a bit long;)

Now $dups will contain a multidimensional array keyed by the duplicate value, containing each key that was a duplicate, and if you send "true" as your second argument it will return the original array without the duplicate values.

Alternately you could pass the original array as a reference and it would adjust it accordingly while returning your duplicate array
