[FX.php List] Help with array_unique

[Bob Patin]

Oops... I didn't copy enough of the code...


I have a field that returns with a lot of duplicate values that I  
want to nuke.

Here's what I tried:

$thearray = array_unique($vlData['target_name'][0]);

After I do this, I need to feed this into a 2nd array so that I can  
assign images to buttons on a page; I tried doing this:
$c=0
foreach($thearray) {
     $n[$c] = $thearray[$c];
     $c++;
}

Should that work?

Thanks,

BP
