array_count_values
Slightly improved version of array_diff_assoc_recursive() that handles array indexes which are set to NULL. The only change is to use array_key_exists instead of isset().
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
foreach ($array1 as $key => $value)
{
if (is_array($value))
{
if (!array_key_exists($key, $array2))
{
$difference[$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] = $new_diff;
}
}
}
elseif (!array_key_exists($key, $array2) || $array2[$key] != $value)
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return !isset($difference) ? FALSE : $difference;
}

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5)
array_diff_assoc — Berechnet den Unterschied zwischen Arrays mit zusätzlicher Indexprüfung
Beschreibung
array array_diff_assoc
( array
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Vergleicht array1 mit array2 und
gibt den Unterschied zurück. Im Gegensatz zu array_diff()
werden die Schlüssel des Arrays beim Vergleich herangezogen.
Parameter-Liste
-
array1 -
Das Array, das verglichen werden soll
-
array2 -
Das Array, mit dem verglichen werden soll
-
... -
Weitere Arrays, mit denen vergleichen werden soll
Rückgabewerte
Gibt ein Array zurück, das alle Werte aus
array1 enthält, die in keinem der
anderen Arrays vorhanden ist.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 array_diff_assoc()-Beispiel
In diesem Beispiel sieht man, dass das "a" => "gruen"-Paar in beiden Arrays enthalten ist und daher nicht in der Ausgabe der Funktion auftaucht. Andererseits ist das Paar 0 => "rot" in der Ausgabe, weil "red" im zweiten Array den Wert 1 enthält.
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "gruen", "b" => "braun", "c" => "blau", "rot");
$array2 = array("a" => "gruen", "gelb", "rot");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
Array
(
[b] => braun
[c] => blau
[0] => rot
)
Beispiel #2 array_diff_assoc()-Beispiel
Zwei Werte von Schlüssel => Wert-Paaren werden nur dann als gleich betrachtet, wenn (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 gilt. Anders ausgedrückt findet eine strikte Prüfung statt, in der die String-Repräsentationen gleich sein müssen.
<?php
$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
Anmerkungen
Hinweis: Diese Funktion überprüft nur eine Dimension eines n-dimensionalen Arrays. Natürlich kann man tiefere Dimensionen überprüfen, indem man zum Beispiel array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]); verwendet.

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).

I've worked on array_diff_assoc_recursive() mentioned by chinello at gmail dot com and I think it might be worth mentioning here. I wrote a dozen test cases and it seems to be holding up pretty well.
<?php
// dwarven Differences:
// * Replaced isset() with array_key_exists() to account for keys with null contents
// 55 dot php at imars dot com Differences:
// Key differences:
// * Removed redundant test;
// * Returns false bool on exact match (not zero integer);
// * Use type-precise comparison "!==" instead of loose "!=";
// * Detect when $array2 contains extraneous elements;
// * Returns "before" and "after" instead of only "before" arrays on mismatch.
function array_compare($array1, $array2) {
$diff = false;
// Left-to-right
foreach ($array1 as $key => $value) {
if (!array_key_exists($key,$array2)) {
$diff[0][$key] = $value;
} elseif (is_array($value)) {
if (!is_array($array2[$key])) {
$diff[0][$key] = $value;
$diff[1][$key] = $array2[$key];
} else {
$new = array_compare($value, $array2[$key]);
if ($new !== false) {
if (isset($new[0])) $diff[0][$key] = $new[0];
if (isset($new[1])) $diff[1][$key] = $new[1];
};
};
} elseif ($array2[$key] !== $value) {
$diff[0][$key] = $value;
$diff[1][$key] = $array2[$key];
};
};
// Right-to-left
foreach ($array2 as $key => $value) {
if (!array_key_exists($key,$array1)) {
$diff[1][$key] = $value;
};
// No direct comparsion because matching keys were compared in the
// left-to-right loop earlier, recursively.
};
return $diff;
};
?>
Note that to catch small type differences, you need to use var_dump() rather than print_r(). For example:
<?php
first = Array( 'first' => 'second', 'third' => 'fourth',
'fifth' => Array( 'oui' => 'yes', 'non' => 'no' ),
'sixth' => Array( 3, 4, 2, 1 )
);
$second = Array( 'first' => 'second', 'third' => 'fourth',
'fifth' => Array( 'oui' => 'yes', 'non' => 'no' ),
'sixth' => Array( 3, 4, '2', 1 )
);
$diff = array_compare($first, $second);
if ($diff === false) echo "MATCH\n";
else var_dump($diff);
?>
The above would immediately show that element "sixth", index 2, is int(2) in $first but string(1)"2" in $second. As per the original function, order for associative arrays does not matter, and of course it does with lists.

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;
}
?>

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

Hi all,
For php versions < 4.3...
<?php
/**
* array_diff_assoc for version < 4.3
**/
if (!function_exists('array_diff_assoc'))
{
function array_diff_assoc($a1, $a2)
{
foreach($a1 as $key => $value)
{
if(isset($a2[$key]))
{
if((string) $value !== (string) $a2[$key])
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}else
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $r ;
}
}

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.
