remove duplicate from string in PHP
duplicates, php, string
Solution
The shortest code would be:
$str = implode(',',array_unique(explode(',', $str)));
If it is the fastest... I don't know, it is probably faster then looping explicitly.
Reference: `implode`, `array_unique`, `explode`
Problem
I am looking for the fastest way to remove duplicate values in a string separated by commas. So my string looks like this; ``` $str = 'one,two,one,five,seven,bag,tea'; ``` I can do it be exploding the string to values and then compare, but I think it will be slow. what about preg_replace() will it be faster? Any one did it using this function?
