RE: Check array for duplicate

Ok I see now array_unique($this->data[$model_name][$model_name] removes
duplicate values.

My question now expands as I keep testing edited values with FireBug

Example my checkbox values range from 1 - 15. I can edit the value to 999
which there is nothing for and check the table and sure enough 999 is saved
there. How can I get the values that do exists and compare them against the
submitted values?

I am doing this in AJAX so I believe the Security component will be of no
assistance to me.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Dave

Ok right on....seems to get me started.

I have this in my controller but if there is a duplicate its not saving
which is what I want) but skipping past the }else{

Ideas what i am missing?

if (!empty($this->data)) {
$san = new Sanitize();
$this->data = $san->clean($this->data);
if ($this->data[$model_name][$model_name] =
array_unique($this->data[$model_name][$model_name])) {
$this->User->save($this->data);
$this->skills($model);
} else {
$value = 'Messing around with values';
$this->User->id = $this->Auth->user('id');
//set confirm code to zero disableing login
//$this->User->saveField('confirmed', 0);
$this->set('value', $value);
$this->layout = 'ajax';
$this->render('/errors/hack_attempt');
}
}

$this->data['System']['System'] =
array_unique($this->data['System']['System']);
