How can I populate an array of two or more keys that share the same value.
For example this is array:
Array
(
[869] => 87
[938] => 89
[870] => 127
[871] => 127
[940] => 127
[942] => 123
[947] => 123
[949] => 75
)
Values 87
, 89
, and 75
only exist once, so they are excluded from the result.
Values that occur more than once should have their keys grouped into subarrays in the result.
Desired result:
Array
(
[1] => array
(
[1] => 870
[2] => 871
[3] => 940
)
[2] => array
(
[1] => 942
[2] => 947
)
)
Here is a function that will do what you want. Many not be the simplest it could be but it works:
<?php
$myArray = array(
869 => 87,
938 => 89,
870 => 127,
871 => 127,
940 => 127,
942 => 123,
947 => 123,
949 => 75
);
$newArray = $foundKeys = array();
$itt = 0;
foreach($myArray as $i => $x){
foreach($myArray as $j => $y ){
if($i != $j && !in_array($i,$foundKeys) && $x == $y){
if(!is_array($newArray[$itt])){
$newArray[$itt] = array($i);
}
array_push($newArray[$itt],$j);
array_push($foundKeys,$j);
}
}
$itt++;
}
print_r($newArray);
results in:
Array
(
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 870
[1] => 871
[2] => 940
)
[5] => Array
(
[0] => 942
[1] => 947
)
)
