php: check if an array has duplicates

by

I know you are not after array_unique(). However, you will not find a magical obvious function nor will writing one be faster than making use of the native functions.

I propose:

function array_has_dupes($array) {
   // streamline per @Felix
   return count($array) !== count(array_unique($array));
}

Adjust the second parameter of array_unique() to meet your comparison needs.
