array_diff_assoc
To return the unique elements (those with a key that exists only once in either array but not in both) try:
function array_unique_diff ($array1, $array2)
{
array_merge(array_diff_key($array1, $array2), array_diff_key($array2, $array1));
}
Example:
$array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4);
$array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);
array_diff_key($array1, $array2)
returns
array ( 'red' => 2, 'purple' => 4 )
array_diff_key($array2, $array1)
returns
array ( 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8, )
array_unique_diff($array1, $array2);
returns
array ( 'red' => 2, 'purple' => 4, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8, )
array_diff_key
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
array_diff_key — Berechnet den Unterschied zwischen Arrays indem es die Schlüssel vergleicht
Beschreibung
array array_diff_key
( array $array1
, array $array2
[, array $ ...
] )
array_diff_key() gibt ein Array zurück, welches alle Werte aus array1 enthält, die Schlüssel besitzen die in keinem der anderen Argumente enthalten sind. Beachten Sie, dass die Assoziativität erhalten bleibt. Diese Funktion arbeitet wie array_diff() mit dem Unterschied, dass der Vergleich mit den Schlüsseln statt den Werten arbeitet.
Beispiel #1 array_diff_key() Beispiel
<?php
$array1 = array('blau' => 1, 'rot' => 2, 'gruen' => 3, 'violett' => 4);
$array2 = array('gruen' => 5, 'blau' => 6, 'gelb' => 7, 'tuerkis' => 8);
var_dump(array_diff_key($array1, $array2));
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
array(2) { ["rot"]=> int(2) ["violett"]=> int(4) }
Die beiden Schlüssel des key => Wert Paares werden als gleich erachtet, genau dann wenn (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . Anders ausgedrückt findet eine strikte Prüfung statt, in der die String-Repräsentationen gleich sein müssen.
Hinweis: Bitte beachten Sie, dass diese Funktion nur eine Dimension eines n-dimensionalen Arrays prüft. Natürlich kann man tiefere Dimensionen überprüfen, indem man array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]); verwendet.
Siehe auch array_diff(), array_udiff() array_diff_assoc(), array_diff_uassoc(), array_udiff_assoc(), array_udiff_uassoc(), array_diff_ukey(), array_intersect(), array_intersect_assoc(), array_intersect_uassoc(), array_intersect_key() und array_intersect_ukey().

I needed something a little different where maybe even the keys in multidimensional arrays don't match up. Setting $assoc to false will cause only to check for missing keys, otherwise it compares values as well. This was also based on '2ge at 2ge dot us' function
<?php
function n_array_diff_assoc ($a1, $a2, $assoc=true) {
$r = array();
if(is_array(current($a1))):
foreach($a1 as $k => $v):
if(isset($a2[$k])):
$diff = n_array_diff($a1[$k], $a2[$k], $assoc);
if (!empty($diff)):
$r[$k] = $diff;
endif;
else:
$r[$k] = $v;
endif;
endforeach;
else:
$r = $assoc ? array_diff_assoc($a1, $a2) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
endif;
return $r;
}
?>

The PHP4 version below works only unidirectionally. If you switch the arrays around i.e. (ar2, ar1) you get different results than (ar1, ar2).

The recursive function suggested by '2ge at 2ge dot us' will provide you with empty arrays if there's no diff.
This variant of the function cleans up empty arrays and fixes a bug in the first suggested version. It works 100%
.
<?php
function array_diff_key_recursive ($a1, $a2) {
foreach($a1 as $k => $v) {
//$r[$k] = is_array($v) ? $this->array_diff_key_recursive($a1[$k], $a2[$k]) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
if (is_array($v))
{
$r[$k]=$this->array_diff_key_recursive($a1[$k], $a2[$k]);
}else
{
$r=array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
}
if (is_array($r[$k]) && count($r[$k])==0)
{
unset($r[$k]);
}
}
return $r;
}
?>

after kwutzke's comment , here is a PHP4 array_diff_key fonction for those in need
function PHP4_array_diff_key()
{
$arrs = func_get_args();
$result = array_shift($arrs);
foreach ($arrs as $array) {
foreach ($result as $key => $v) {
if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
unset($result[$key]);
}
}
}
return $result;
}
works for me, enjoy.

PHP4 array_diff_key can be copied from the array_intersect_key implementation posted by some anonymous user on 2006-07-17. The only thing you have to do is to delete the '!' in the if and rename the function.

Hello, if you need diff key of n-dimensional arrays here is nice solution:
<?php
function n_array_diff ($a1, $a2) {
foreach($a1 as $k => $v) {
$r[$k] = is_array($v) ? n_array_diff($a1[$k], $a2[$k]) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
}
return $r;
}
?>
it will print everything, what is missing in $a2.

One more alternative variant :)
<?
if (!function_exists('array_diff_key')) {
function array_diff_key() {
$argCount = func_num_args();
$diff_arg_prefix = 'diffArg';
$diff_arg_names = array();
for ($i=0; $i < $argCount; $i++) {
$diff_arg_names[$i] = 'diffArg'.$i;
$$diff_arg_names[$i] = array_keys((array)func_get_arg($i));
}
$diffArrString = '';
if (!empty($diff_arg_names)) $diffArrString = '$'.implode(', $', $diff_arg_names);
eval("\$result = array_diff(".$diffArrString.");");
return $result;
}
}
?>

Well, you could implement in the code something more powerfull:

You may obtain this function with PEAR Package PHP_Compat (http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Compat)
Then using such code is quite useful
<?php
if(!function_exists('array_diff_key')){
require_once 'PHP/Compat/Function/array_diff_key.php';
}
?>

Seems to be a great function, especially for n-dimensions arrays. The only problem is that I cannot find it in php 5.0.3 and 5.0.4. Does it really exist ?! :(
[20:27:05][maxence@conurb] ~/test2/php-5.0.4$ grep PHP_FUNCTION * -r | grep -i array_diff_key

Be aware that the last solution doesn't work if for any reason, two values are the same.
