since you are getting your information from a db, use
SELECT DISTINCT order_number, ....
This will ensure that only unique order_numbers are returned
sort($order_data);
if ($count = count($order_data)) {
for ($i = 2; $i < $count; $i++) {
if ($order_data[$i]['order_number'] ==
$order_data[$i-1]['order_number']) {
unset($order_data[$i-1]);
}
if (count($order_data) > 0) {
$order_list = implode(', ',
$order_data);
} else {
$order_list = '';
}
}
}

My question is I want to remove duplicate order numbers in other words
ditch
*one* of the Mike Smith rows there's a duplicate order number there.
And I need to do it in either a for/foreach loop. Somehow there's got to be
a simple way to check and only output non duplicate order numbers while I'm
looping thru the data. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
