array_diff_uassoc

Description

array_diff_uassoc() returns an array containing all the values from array1 that are not present in any of the other arguments. Note that the keys are used in the comparison unlike array_diff(). This comparison is done by a user supplied callback function. It must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. This is unlike array_diff_assoc() where an internal function for comparing the indices is used.

Example 1. array_diff_uassoc() example <?php function key_compare_func($a, $b) {     if ($a === $b) {         return 0;     }     return ($a > $b)? 1:-1; } $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red"); $result = array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, "key_compare_func"); ?> The result is: Array ( [b] => brown [c] => blue [0] => red )

In our example above you see the "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the ouput from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the ouput because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1.

The equality of 2 indices is checked by the user supplied callback function.
