I would like to check if my array has any duplicates and return the duplicated values in an array. I want this to be as efficient as possible.

Answer 1

If you need a solution that will work with an array of arrays (or any array values other than integers or strings) try this:

function return_dup( $arr ) {
    $dups = array();
    $temp = $arr;
    foreach ( $arr as $key => $item ) {
        unset( $temp[$key] );
        if ( in_array( $item, $temp ) ) {
            $dups[] = $item;
        }
    }
    return $dups;
}


$arr = array(
    array(
        0 => 'A',
        1 => 'B',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'A',
        1 => 'B',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'C',
        1 => 'D',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'C',
        1 => 'D',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'E',
        1 => 'F',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'F',
        1 => 'E',
    ),
    array(
        0 => 'Y',
        1 => 'Z',
    ),
);

var_export( return_dup( $arr ) );
/*
array (
    0 => array (
        0 => 'A',
        1 => 'B',
    ),
    1 => array (
        0 => 'C',
        1 => 'D',
    ),
)
*/
