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
?>
array_diff_assoc
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
array_diff_assoc — Calcule la différence de deux tableaux, en prenant aussi en compte les clés
Description
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Compare array1 et array2 et retourne
la différence. Contrairement à la fonction array_diff(), les clés
du tableau sont également utilisées dans la comparaison.
Liste de paramètres

Valeurs de retour
Retourne un tableau contenant toutes les valeurs du tableau
array1 qui ne sont pas présentes dans les
autres tableaux.
Exemples
Exemple #1 Exemple avec array_diff_assoc()
Dans cet exemple, vous pouvez voir que la paire "a" => "vert" est présente dans les deux tableaux, et donc, n'est pas présente dans le résultat de la fonction. Au contraire, la paire 0 => "rouge" est présente dans le résultat, car le second argument "rouge" possède une clé qui est 1.
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "vert", "b" => "marron", "c" => "bleu", "rouge");
$array2 = array("a" => "vert", "jaune", "rouge");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
Array
(
[b] => marron
[c] => bleu
[0] => rouge
)
Exemple #2 Exemple avec array_diff_assoc()
Deux valeurs des paires clé => valeur sont considérées comme égales uniquement si (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . En d'autres termes, une vérification stricte est effectuée sur la représentation en chaînes de caractères.
<?php
$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
Notes
Note: Notez bien que cette fonction ne travaille que sur une dimension de tableau. Bien sur, vous pouvez utiliser des sous dimensions de tableau comme ceci : array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

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 $b has many elements or is dynamically generated.
The array_diff_assoc_array from "chinello at gmail dot com" (and others) will not work for arrays with null values. That's because !isset is true when an array key doesn't exists or is set to null.
(sorry for the changed indent-style)
<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2) {
$difference=array();
foreach($array1 as $key => $value) {
if( is_array($value) ) {
if( !isset($array2[$key]) || !is_array($array2[$key]) ) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
} else {
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if( !empty($new_diff) )
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
} else if( !array_key_exists($key,$array2) || $array2[$key] !== $value ) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $difference;
}
?>
And here an example (note index 'b' in the output):
<?php
$a1=array( 'a' => 0, 'b' => null, 'c' => array( 'd' => null ) );
$a2=array( 'a' => 0, 'b' => null );
var_dump( array_diff_assoc_recursive( $a1, $a2 ) );
var_dump( chinello_array_diff_assoc_recursive( $a1, $a2 ) );
?>
array(1) {
["c"]=>
array(1) {
["d"]=>
NULL
}
}
array(2) {
["b"]=>
NULL
["c"]=>
array(1) {
["d"]=>
NULL
}
}
If you're looking for a true array_diff_assoc, comparing arrays to determine the difference between two, finding missing values from both, you can use this along with array_merge.
$a = array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3);
$b = array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'d'=>4);
print_r(array_diff_assoc($a,$b));
// returns:
array
(
[c] => 3
)
print_r(array_diff_assoc($b,$a));
// returns
array
(
[d] => 4
)
print_r(array_merge(array_diff_assoc($a,$b),array_diff_assoc($b,$a)));
// returns
array
(
[c] => 3
[d] => 4
)
A quite simple (yet not very efficient) way to compare the first level of arrays which have values that are not strings:
array_map('unserialize',array_diff_assoc(array_map('serialize',$arr1),array_map('serialize',$arr2)))
Might be useful for debugging (that's what I use it for).
array_diff_assoc 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;
}
?>

Hi all,
For php versions < 4.3...
<?php
/**

}
}else

return $r ;
