array_diff

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.1)

array_diff -- Computes the difference of arrays

Description

array array_diff ( array array1, array array2 [, array ...])

array_diff() returns an array containing all the values of array1 that are not present in any of the other arguments. Note that keys are preserved.

Ejemplo 1. array_diff() example

$array1 = array ("a" => "green", "red", "blue", "red");
$array2 = array ("b" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff ($array1, $array2);

This makes $result have array ("blue");. Multiple occurrences in $array1 are all treated the same way.

Nota: Two elements are considered equal if and only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2. In words: when the string representation is the same.

Nota: Please note that this function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using array_diff($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

Aviso

This was broken in PHP 4.0.4!
