If you are new to PHP or just need to refresh your skills, this is the place to start. This series of tutorials will give you the basic knowledge you will need to create a simple PHP website.

PHP is a reflective programming language originally designed for producing dynamic web pages.[1] PHP is used mainly in server-side scripting, but can be used from a command line interface or in standalone graphical applications. Textual User Interfaces can also be created using ncurses.

array_udiff_assoc

Description

array array_udiff_assoc ( array array1, array array2 [, array ..., callback data_compare_func] )

array_udiff_assoc() 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() and array_udiff(). The comparison of arrays' data is performed by using an user-supplied callback. In this aspect the behaviour is opposite to the behaviour of array_diff_assoc() which uses internal function for comparison.

Example 1. array_udiff_assoc() example


<?php
class cr {
    private $priv_member;
    function cr($val)
    {
        $this->priv_member = $val;
    }

    function comp_func_cr($a, $b)
    {
        if ($a->priv_member === $b->priv_member) return 0;
        return ($a->priv_member > $b->priv_member)? 1:-1;
    }
}

$a = array("0.1" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(12), 0 => new cr(23), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),);
$b = array("0.2" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(22), 0 => new cr(3), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),);

$result = array_udiff_assoc($a, $b, array("cr", "comp_func_cr"));
print_r($result);
?>

The above example will output:

Array
(
    [0.1] => cr Object
        (
            [priv_member:private] => 9
        )

    [0.5] => cr Object
        (
            [priv_member:private] => 12
        )

    [0] => cr Object
        (
            [priv_member:private] => 23
        )
)

In our example above you see the "1" => new cr(4) pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the ouput from the function.

For comparison is used the 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.

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