在多维数组中查找重复值

Question

I have an array that looks similar to this:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Model2345
            [1] => John Doe
            [2] => SN1234
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Model2345
            [1] => John Doe
            [2] => SN3456
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Model1234
            [1] => Jane Doe
            [2] => SN3456
        )
)

I want to have a way to check for duplicate values for keys [1] (the John Doe/Jane Doe key) and [2] (the SNxxxx key) in php, but ignore duplicates for key [0]. How can this be accomplished?

This question has already been answered here. The following is the code from the accepted answer of that question.

It utilizes the array_intersect() function.

<?php
$array = array(array("test data","testing data"), array("new data","test data"), array("another data", "test data", "unique data"));
$result = array();

$first = $array[0];
for($i=1; $i<count($array); $i++)
{
    $result = array_intersect ($first, $array[$i]);
    $first = $result;
}
print_r($result);
?>

OUTPUT:

Array ( [0] => test data )
