Examples

Example 234. array_diff_key() example

The two keys from the key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . In other words a strict type check is executed so the string representation must be the same.

$array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4);
$array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);

var_dump(array_diff_key($array1, $array2));


The above example will output:

array(2) {  
["red"]=>   int(2)  
["purple"]=>   int(4)
}
