Answer 1

<?php
$dupes = []; // keep track of duplicates
foreach ($users as $user1) { // iterate over all items
$dupeCount = 0; // because we iterate over the same array, we always find at least the item itself (1 dupe minimum)
foreach ($users as $user2) { // check the array again
if ($user1 === $user2) { // if they are exactly the same: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.object-comparison.php
$dupeCount++;
}
if ($dupeCount > 1) { // because we always find at least 1, push only when we find more than that
array_push($dupes, $user1); // add it to the result
}
}
}
However for you comment
I just want to check if detect secret_code same in array give me true
else false
which should be in your question to begin with.
collect($users)->unique(function ($item) {
return $item['secret_code'];
});
