PHP array_diff_uassoc() Function

Complete PHP Array Reference

Definition and Usage

The array_diff_uassoc() function compares two or more arrays, checking for differences, before comparing the keys in a user-defined function, then returns an array with the keys and values from the first array, if the function allows it.

Syntax

array_diff_uassoc(array1,array2,array3...,function)

Tips and Notes

Tip: You can compare the first array with one array, or as many as you like.

Note: Both the key and the value is used in the automatic comparison, then, in the user-defined function, only the keys are being compared.

Example 1

<?php
function myfunction($v1,$v2) 
{
if ($v1===$v2)
	{
	return 0;
	}
if ($v1>$v2)
	{
	return 1;
	}
else
	{
	return -1;
	}
}
$a1=array(0=>"Dog",1=>"Cat",2=>"Horse");
$a2=array(3=>"Dog",1=>"Cat",5=>"Horse");
print_r(array_diff_uassoc($a1,$a2,"myfunction"));
?> 

The output of the code above will be:

Array ( [0] => Dog [2] => Horse )

Example 2

How to assign more than two arrays to the function

<?php
function myfunction($v1,$v2) 
{
if ($v1===$v2)
	{
	return 0;
	}
if ($v1>$v2)
	{
	return 1;
	}
else
	{
	return -1;
	}
}
$a1=array(0=>"Dog",1=>"Cat",2=>"Horse");
$a2=array(3=>"Dog",1=>"Cat",5=>"Horse");
$a3=array(6=>"Bird",0=>"Dog",5=>"Horse");
print_r(array_diff_uassoc($a1,$a2,$a3,"myfunction"));
?> 

The output of the code above will be:

Array ( [2] => Horse )
