Hi there,
I’ve got the following issue:
I’ve menaged to parse RSS data from a given XML file into a PHP object with SimpleXML. As this is quiet a trivial task, so far so good.
At a particluar spot within the code I have the following object instances.
Here’s a print_r($obj);
Two first two object instances are equal because they have the same attributes and values, wheras the third one is different.
What I like to be doing here before going any further is to get rid of duplicates and only take unequal instances to proced with my methods and code.
My idea now is to compare a particular attribute (E.g. $obj->title) and if that attribute appears to exist more than once, get rid of the/all duplicate/s.
Something like DISTINCT in SQL if that make sense ?
How can I get that going?
Cheers!
