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 — Calcule la différence de deux tableaux en utilisant les clés pour comparaison
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Compare les clés du tableau array1
avec les clés
du tableau array2
et retourne la différence.
Cette fonction est identique à la fonction array_diff(),
excepté sur le fait que la comparaison est faite sur les clés, plutôt que sur
les valeurs.
array1
Le tableau à comparer
array2
Le tableau à comparer
...
Plus de tableaux à comparer
Retourne un tableau contenant toutes les entrées du tableau
array1
dont les clés ne sont présentes dans
aucun des autres tableaux.
Exemple #1 Exemple avec array_diff_key()
Les deux clés depuis les paires clé => valeur sont considérées comme égales uniquement si (string) $cle1 === (string) $cle2 . En d'autres termes, une analyse de type stricte est exécutée, donc, le type doit être exactement le même.
<?php
$array1 = array('blue' => 1, 'red' => 2, 'green' => 3, 'purple' => 4);
$array2 = array('green' => 5, 'blue' => 6, 'yellow' => 7, 'cyan' => 8);
var_dump(array_diff_key($array1, $array2));
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
array(2) { ["red"]=> int(2) ["purple"]=> int(4) }
Note:
Notez que cette fonction vérifie uniquement une dimension d'un tableau possédant n dimensions. Bien sûr, vous pouvez vérifier une dimension plus profonde en utilisant, par exemple, array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]);.
The PHP4 version below works only unidirectionally. If you switch the arrays around i.e. (ar2, ar1) you get different results than (ar1, ar2).
The recursive function suggested by '2ge at 2ge dot us' will provide you with empty arrays if there's no diff.
This variant of the function cleans up empty arrays and fixes a bug in the first suggested version. It works 100%
.
<?php
function array_diff_key_recursive ($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.
