array_diff_assoc — Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Compares array1 against array2 and
returns the difference. Unlike array_diff() the array
keys are also used in the comparison.
array1The array to compare from
array2An array to compare against
...More arrays to compare against
Returns an array containing all the values from
array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays.
Example #1 array_diff_assoc() example
In this example you see the "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the output because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1.
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:
Array
(
[b] => brown
[c] => blue
[0] => red
)
Example #2 array_diff_assoc() example
Two values from key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . In other words a strict check takes place so the string representations must be the same.
<?php
$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
Notă: This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);.
Notă: Ensure you pass arguments in the correct order when comparing similar arrays with more keys. The new array should be the first in the list.
