how to delete double values in array?

Question

I've got an array like this one:

arrayname[1] = "jacob";
arrayname[2] = "peter";
arrayname[3] = "jacob";
arrayname[4] = "nicholas";

I want to remove the double jacob so it will be like

arrayname[1] = "jacob";
arrayname[2] = "peter";
arrayname[3] = "nicholas";

How do I do that?

@fayer, if you indent your code with at least four spaces it will format properly. I fixed this question, but for future reference. — Doug Neiner

Questions like this can easily be answered by just browsing the PHP Array Documentation and reading the function names. — Jessedc
