array_count_values
A quite simple (yet not very efficient) way to compare the first level of arrays which have values that are not strings:
array_map('unserialize',array_diff_assoc(array_map('serialize',$arr1),array_map('serialize',$arr2)))
Might be useful for debugging (that's what I use it for).
array_diff_assoc
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
array_diff_assoc — Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check
Descrierea
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 comparison.
Parametri
-
array1 -
The array to compare from
-
array2 -
An array to compare against
-
... -
More arrays to compare against
Valorile întoarse
Returns an array containing all the values from
array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays.
Exemple
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
)
Note
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]);.

array_diff_assoc can also be used to find the duplicates in an array
<?php
$arr = array('1','2','3','4','3','2','5');
$uniques = array_unique($arr);
// array_diff will not work here, array_diff_assoc works as it takes the key // in account.
$dups = array_diff_assoc($arr, $uniques);
print_r($dups);
?>
Note: The index of the $dups is not in strict sequential order as expected by C programmer.

To diff between n-dimensional array, juste use this :
<?php
function array_diff_values($tab1, $tab2)
{
$result = array();
foreach($tab1 as $values) if(! in_array($values, $tab2)) $result[] = $values;
return $result;
}
?>

The direction of the arguments does actually make a difference:
<?php
$a = array(
'x' => 'x',
'y' => 'y',
'z' => 'z',
't' => 't',
);
$b = array(
'x' => 'x',
'y' => 'y',
'z' => 'z',
't' => 't',
'g' => 'g',
);
print_r(array_diff_assoc($a, $b));
print_r(array_diff_assoc($b, $a));
?>
echoes:
Array
(
)
Array
(
[g] => g
)

The following will recursively do an array_diff_assoc, which will calculate differences on a multi-dimensional level. This not display any notices if a key don't exist and if error_reporting is set to E_ALL:
<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
foreach($array1 as $key => $value)
{
if(is_array($value))
{
if(!isset($array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
elseif(!is_array($array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
else
{
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if($new_diff != FALSE)
{
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
}
}
elseif(!isset($array2[$key]) || $array2[$key] != $value)
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return !isset($difference) ? 0 : $difference;
}
?>

NOTE: the diff_array also removes all the duplicate values that match to the values in the second array:
<?php
$array1 = array("a","b","c","a","a");
$array2 = array("a");
$diff = array_diff($array1,$array2);
// yields: array("b","c") the duplicate "a" values are removed
?>

Hi all,
For php versions < 4.3...
<?php
/**
* array_diff_assoc for version < 4.3
**/
if (!function_exists('array_diff_assoc'))
{
function array_diff_assoc($a1, $a2)
{
foreach($a1 as $key => $value)
{
if(isset($a2[$key]))
{
if((string) $value !== (string) $a2[$key])
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}else
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $r ;
}
}
?>

To unset elements in an array if you know the keys but not the values, you can do:
<?php
$a = array("foo", "bar", "baz", "quux");
$b = array(1, 3); // Elements to get rid of
foreach($b as $e)
unset($a[$e]);
?>
Of course this makes most sense if $b has many elements or is dynamically generated.
