Thanks everyone for the ideas,
Here's what I came up with...
I forgot to mention that I needed to preserve the original array's keys.
Here is a replacement I wrote that seems to work. Let me know if you see
errors in it or have improvements.

function my_array_unique($somearray)
{
    asort($somearray);
    reset($somearray);
    $currentarrayvar = current($somearray);
    foreach ($somearray as $key=>$var)
    {
        if (next($somearray) != $currentarrayvar)
        {
            $uniquearray[$key] = $currentarrayvar;
            $currentarrayvar = current($somearray);
        } 
    } 
    reset($uniquearray);
    return $uniquearray;
}
