Re: Check array for duplicate

I don't know why the save isn't happening but you shouldn't have the
array_unique() in the if test because that just returns the modified
array. If you're more interested in testing whether the array has
dupes, rather than simply removing them, I think you'd have to do
something like:

if (sizeof(array_unique($this->data[$model_name][$model_name])) ==
sizeof($this->data[$model_name][$model_name]))
{
$this->User->save($this->data);
$this->skills($model);
}
else
{

I was going to suggest using array_diff() but that function is bollocks.

Anyway, why don't you just use SecurityComponent?
