Hello!
I have a small issue where I’m trying to remove duplicate entries from an array, the array its-self contains another set of arrays, example below…
[php]Array ( [0] => Array ( [wrapperType] => track [kind] => song [artistId] => 156857565 [collectionId] => 283175944 [trackId] => 283175947 [artistName] => Basshunter [collectionName] => All I Ever Wanted (Radio Edit) -

The thing is the trackName is duplicated here, i want to only have a clean array with no duplicates to show songs for the current artist.
[php]$getart = $result[‘musicartist’];
$getart = str_replace(" ", “%20”, $getart);
$cas = curl_init(“http://itunes.apple.com/search?parameterkeyvalue&term=".$getart."&entity=song&attribute=artistTerm&media=music&version=2&limit=100&country=GB”);
curl_setopt($cas, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$jsonitunes = curl_exec($cas);
curl_close($cas);
$arr = json_decode($jsonitunes,true);
$items = array();
foreach($arr['results'] as $item) {
$items[] = $item;
};
function cmp($a, $b)
{
return strcmp($a["trackName"], $b["trackName"]);
}
usort($items, "cmp");[/php]
