To find duplicate content using MySQL and PHP, you can use the following approach:
Create a database table to store the content you want to check for duplicates. Let's call this table content_table and assume it has two columns: id (an auto-incrementing primary key) and content (the content you want to check for duplicates).
Use PHP to query the content_table and fetch all the records.
<?php
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost", "username", "password", "database_name");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM content_table";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
$content_array = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$content_array[] = $row['content'];
}
mysqli_close($conn);
?>
Use PHP to loop through the content_array and check for duplicate content.
<?php
$occurrences = array_count_values($content_array);
foreach ($occurrences as $key => $value) {
if ($value > 1) {
echo "Duplicate content: " . $key . "<br>";
}
}
?>
In this example, we use the array_count_values() function to count the number of occurrences of each item in the content_array. We then loop through the occurrences array and output any items that have a count greater than 1.
