Accepted Answer

try the following code

```
function my_array_unique($array, $keep_key_assoc = false){
    $duplicate_keys = array();
    $tmp = array();

foreach ($array as $key => $val){
        // convert objects to arrays, in_array() does not support objects
        if (is_object($val))
            $val = (array)$val;

if (!in_array($val, $tmp))
            $tmp[] = $val;
        else
            $duplicate_keys[] = $key;
    }

foreach ($duplicate_keys as $key)
        unset($array[$key]);

return $keep_key_assoc ? $array : array_values($array);
}
```
