PHP array_diff_uassoc() Function

The array_diff_uassoc() function is used to compare two or more arrays with an additional user supplied function. The function compares array1 against array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff() the array keys are used in the comparison.

Note: This function uses a user-defined function to compare the keys!

ParameterDescription
array1Required. The array to compare from
array2Required. An array to compare against
array3,…Optional. More arrays to compare against
myfunctionRequired. A string that define a callable comparison function. The comparison function must return an integer <, =, or > than 0 if the first argument is <, =, or > than the second argument

Syntax

 array_diff_uassoc(array1,array2,array3...,myfunction);

Example

function myfunction($a,$b)
{
	if ($a==$b)
	{
	  return 0;
	}
	return ($a>$b)?1:-1;
}
$array1=array("a"=>"Prince","b"=>"James","c"=>"Samuel","d"=>"Cooper");
$array2=array("a"=>"Prince","b"=>"James","c"=>"Samuel");
$result=array_diff_uassoc($array1,$array2,"myfunction");
