Why are multiple instances of the same ID appearing in the comments for different reports, and how can this issue be resolved in PHP?

The issue of multiple instances of the same ID appearing in the comments for different reports is likely due to a lack of proper filtering or validation when displaying the comments. To resolve this issue in PHP, you can implement a check to ensure that each ID is only displayed once by keeping track of the IDs that have already been displayed.

// Sample code to prevent multiple instances of the same ID in comments

$displayed_ids = array();

foreach ($comments as $comment) {
    $id = $comment['id'];
    
    if (!in_array($id, $displayed_ids)) {
        // Display the comment with this ID
        echo $comment['text'];
        
        // Add the ID to the list of displayed IDs
        $displayed_ids[] = $id;
    }
}
