without duplicate values.

Note that keys are preserved. <function>array_unique</function> sorts
|
|
the values treated as string at first, then will keep the first key
|
|
encountered for every value, and ignore all following keys. It does not
|
|
mean that the key of the first related value from the unsorted
|
|
<parameter>array</parameter> will be kept.

|
|
<note>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
Two elements are considered equal if and only if
|
|
<literal>(string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2</literal>. In words:
|
|
when the string representation is the same.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
The first element will be used.
