I have data like this
Title - August 2013
Title2 - August 2013
Title3 - October 2013
What I am trying to do is write up to separate these by date and return a link per a month and year, my expected results are:
August 2013
October 2013
I started writing this code:
<?php
$data = array("Title - August 2013", "Title2 - August 2013", "Title3 - October 2013");
foreach($data as $index){
$date = explode(" - ", $index);
echo $date[1];
}
?>
I just don't know how I would go about the rest to only display a date once. I suppose I could create an array in the foreach and check if the date is inside the array.
Any ideas?
Well, yea... Put dates to array and then remove duplications:
$data = array('Title - August 2013', 'Title2 - August 2013', 'Title3 - October 2013');
$dates = array();
foreach($data as $index) {
$date = explode(' - ', $index);
$dates[] = $date[1];
}
$dates = array_unique($dates);
var_dump($dates);
Result will be:
array (size=2)
0 => string 'August 2013' (length=11)
2 => string 'October 2013' (length=12)
