array_udiff_uassoc

(PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

array_udiff_uassoc — Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check, compares data and indexes by a callback function

Description

array_udiff_uassoc(
    array $array,
    array ...$arrays,
    callable $value_compare_func,
    callable $key_compare_func
): array

Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check, compares data and indexes by a callback function.

Note that the keys are used in the comparison unlike array_diff() and array_udiff().

Parameters

array

The first array.

arrays

Arrays to compare against.

value_compare_func

The comparison function 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.

callback(mixed $a, mixed $b): int
Caution

Returning non-integer values from the comparison function, such as float, will result in an internal cast to int of the callback's return value. So values such as 0.99 and 0.1 will both be cast to an integer value of 0, which will compare such values as equal.

Caution

The sorting callback must handle any value from any array in any order, regardless of the order they were originally provided. This is because each individual array is first sorted before being compared against other arrays. For example:

<?php
$arrayA = ["string", 1];
$arrayB = [["value" => 1]];
// $item1 and $item2 can be any of "string", 1 or ["value" => 1]
$compareFunc = static function ($item1, $item2) {
$value1 = is_string($item1) ? strlen($item1) : (is_array($item1) ? $item1["value"] : $item1);
$value2 = is_string($item2) ? strlen($item2) : (is_array($item2) ? $item2["value"] : $item2);
return $value1 <=> $value2;
};
?>

key_compare_func

The comparison of keys (indices) is done also by the callback function key_compare_func. This behaviour is unlike what array_udiff_assoc() does, since the latter compares the indices by using an internal function.

Return Values

Returns an array containing all the values from array that are not present in any of the other arguments.

Examples

Example #1 array_udiff_uassoc() example

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

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

static function comp_func_key($a, $b)
{
if ($a === $b) return 0;
return ($a > $b)? 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),);

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

The above example will output:

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

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

    [0] => cr Object
        (
            [priv_member:cr: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 output from the function. Keep in mind that you have to supply 2 callback functions.

Notes

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_uassoc($array1[0], $array2[0], "data_compare_func", "key_compare_func");.
