The PHP4 version below works only unidirectionally. If you switch the arrays around i.e. (ar2, ar1) you get different results than (ar1, ar2).
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
array_diff_key — Berechnet den Unterschied zwischen Arrays, indem es die Schlüssel vergleicht
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Vergleicht die Schlüssel von array1
mit
den Schlüsseln von array2
und gibt die
Unterschiede zurück. Diese Funktion arbeitet wie
array_diff() mit dem Unterschied, dass der Vergleich
mit den Schlüsseln statt den Werten arbeitet.
array1
Das Array, das verglichen werden soll
array2
Das Array, mit dem verglichen werden soll
...
Weitere Arrays, mit denen verglichen werden soll
Gibt ein Array mit allen Einträgen von
array1
zurück, deren Schlüssel in keinem
der anderen Arrays vorhanden sind.
Beispiel #1 array_diff_key()-Beispiel
Die beiden Schlüssel des Schlüssel => Wert-Paares werden als gleich erachtet, genau dann wenn (string) $Schlüssel1 === (string) $Schlüssel2 . Anders ausgedrückt findet eine strikte Prüfung statt, in der die String-Repräsentationen gleich sein müssen.
<?php
$array1 = array('blau' => 1, 'rot' => 2, 'grün' => 3, 'violett' => 4);
$array2 = array('grün' => 5, 'blau' => 6, 'gelb' => 7, 'türkis' => 8);
var_dump(array_diff_key($array1, $array2));
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
array(2) { ["rot"]=> int(2) ["violett"]=> int(4) }
Hinweis:
Diese Funktion überprüft nur eine Dimension eines n-dimensionalen Arrays. Natürlich kann man tiefere Dimensionen überprüfen, indem man array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]); verwendet.
The PHP4 version below works only unidirectionally. If you switch the arrays around i.e. (ar2, ar1) you get different results than (ar1, ar2).
The recursive function suggested by '2ge at 2ge dot us' will provide you with empty arrays if there's no diff.
This variant of the function cleans up empty arrays and fixes a bug in the first suggested version. It works 100%
.
<?php
function array_diff_key_recursive ($a1, $a2) {
foreach($a1 as $k => $v) {
//$r[$k] = is_array($v) ? $this->array_diff_key_recursive($a1[$k], $a2[$k]) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
if (is_array($v))
{
$r[$k]=$this->array_diff_key_recursive($a1[$k], $a2[$k]);
}else
{
$r=array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
}
if (is_array($r[$k]) && count($r[$k])==0)
{
unset($r[$k]);
}
}
return $r;
}
?>
Seems to be a great function, especially for n-dimensions arrays. The only problem is that I cannot find it in php 5.0.3 and 5.0.4. Does it really exist ?! :(
[20:27:05][maxence@conurb] ~/test2/php-5.0.4$ grep PHP_FUNCTION * -r | grep -i array_diff_key
[20:27:09][maxence@conurb] ~/test2/php-5.0.4$
To return the unique elements (those with a key that exists only once in either array but not in both) try:
function array_unique_diff ($array1, $array2)
{
array_merge(array_diff_key($array1, $array2), array_diff_key($array2, $array1));
}
Example:
$array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4);
$array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);
array_diff_key($array1, $array2)
returns
array ( 'red' => 2, 'purple' => 4 )
array_diff_key($array2, $array1)
returns
array ( 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8, )
array_unique_diff($array1, $array2);
returns
array ( 'red' => 2, 'purple' => 4, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8, )
I needed something a little different where maybe even the keys in multidimensional arrays don't match up. Setting $assoc to false will cause only to check for missing keys, otherwise it compares values as well. This was also based on '2ge at 2ge dot us' function
<?php
function n_array_diff_assoc ($a1, $a2, $assoc=true) {
$r = array();
if(is_array(current($a1))):
foreach($a1 as $k => $v):
if(isset($a2[$k])):
$diff = n_array_diff($a1[$k], $a2[$k], $assoc);
if (!empty($diff)):
$r[$k] = $diff;
endif;
else:
$r[$k] = $v;
endif;
endforeach;
else:
$r = $assoc ? array_diff_assoc($a1, $a2) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
endif;
return $r;
}
?>
you can use this function for return the difference of two array !
<?php
function array_unique_diff_key ($array1, $array2)
{
if (is_array($array1) && is_array($array2))
return array_diff_key($array1, $array2) + array_diff_key($array2, $array1);
else if (is_array($array1)) return $array1;
else if (is_array($array2)) return $array2;
else return array();
}
?>
One more alternative variant :)
<?
if (!function_exists('array_diff_key')) {
function array_diff_key() {
$argCount = func_num_args();
$diff_arg_prefix = 'diffArg';
$diff_arg_names = array();
for ($i=0; $i < $argCount; $i++) {
$diff_arg_names[$i] = 'diffArg'.$i;
$$diff_arg_names[$i] = array_keys((array)func_get_arg($i));
}
$diffArrString = '';
if (!empty($diff_arg_names)) $diffArrString = '$'.implode(', $', $diff_arg_names);
eval("\$result = array_diff(".$diffArrString.");");
return $result;
}
}
?>
Well, you could implement in the code something more powerfull:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php#31364
Here's a simple function that returns true if all keys in the first array are found in the second array, and false if they aren't.
function same_keys ($a1, $a2) {
$same = false;
if (!array_diff_key($a1, $a2)) {
$same = true;
foreach ($a1 as $k => $v) {
if (is_array($v) && !same_keys($v, $a2[$k])) {
$same = false;
break;
}
}
}
return $same;
}
To check if two arrays have the same structure, ignoring values, execute the function twice, the second time with the arguments reversed.
Improved recursive version.
<?php
/**
* @author Gajus Kuizinas <[email protected]>
* @version 1.0.0 (2013 03 19)
*/
function array_diff_key_recursive (array $arr1, array $arr2) {
$diff = array_diff_key($arr1, $arr2);
$intersect = array_intersect_key($arr1, $arr2);
foreach ($intersect as $k => $v) {
if (is_array($arr1[$k]) && is_array($arr2[$k])) {
$d = array_diff_key_recursive($arr1[$k], $arr2[$k]);
if ($d) {
$diff[$k] = $d;
}
}
}
return $diff;
}
?>
An up to date version is maintained at https://github.com/gajus/flow/blob/master/flow.inc.php#L337.
Hello, if you need diff key of n-dimensional arrays here is nice solution:
<?php
function n_array_diff ($a1, $a2) {
foreach($a1 as $k => $v) {
$r[$k] = is_array($v) ? n_array_diff($a1[$k], $a2[$k]) : array_diff_key($a1, $a2);
}
return $r;
}
?>
it will print everything, what is missing in $a2.
