PHP array_diff_uassoc() – Compute Array Difference with User-Defined Key Comparison
The article explains how PHP's array_diff_uassoc() function compares arrays using both values and user‑defined key comparison callbacks, describes its parameters and return value, and provides a complete example with code and expected output.
The PHP function array_diff_uassoc() compares two or more arrays and returns the values from the first array that are not present in any of the other arrays, using both values and keys for comparison, with a user‑defined callback to compare the keys.
Parameters
array $array1 – The array to compare.
array $array2 – The array to compare against.
... – Additional arrays to compare.
callable $key_compare_func – A function that returns <0, 0, >0 when the first key is less than, equal to, or greater than the second key.
Return value
Returns an array containing all entries from $array1 whose keys and values are not present in any of the other arrays.
Example
$b) ? 1 : -1;
}
$array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff_uassoc($array1, $array2, "key_compare_func");
print_r($result);
?>Output
Array
(
[b] => brown
[c] => blue
[0] => red
