php - array_diff_assoc

Description

array array_diff_assoc ( array $array1, array $array2 [, array $...] )

Compares array1 against array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff() the array keys are used in the comparision.

Parameters


array1

The array to compare from

array2

An array to compare against

...

More arrays to compare against

Return Values

Returns an array containing all the values from array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays.

Examples

Example 232. 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 ouput from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the ouput because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1.

$array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);

The above example will output:

Array (    
[b] => brown    
[c] => blue    
[0] => red
)      

Example 233. 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.

$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);

The above example will output:

Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
