PHP 8.4.2 Released!

array_diff_assoc

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

array_diff_assocComputa a diferença entre arrays com checagem adicional de índice

Descrição

array_diff_assoc(array $array, array ...$arrays): array

Compara array com arrays e retorna a diferença. Ao contrário de array_diff(), as chaves dos arrays também são usadas na comparação.

Parâmetros

array

O array a ser comparado

arrays

Arrays para comparar

Valor Retornado

Retorna um array contendo todos os valores do array que não estão presentes em qualquer um dos outros arrays.

Registro de Alterações

Versão Descrição
8.0.0 Esta função agora pode ser chamada com apenas um parâmetro. Anteriormente, pelo menos dois parâmetros eram necessários.

Exemplos

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de array_diff_assoc()

Neste exemplo o par "a" => "verde" está presente em ambos os arrays e por isso não está na saída da função. Por outro lado, o par 0 => "vermelho" está na saída porque a chave de "vermelho" é automaticamente atribuído para 0 no primeiro array, enquanto é atribuído para 1 no segundo array já que a chave 0 já foi tomada por amarelo.

<?php
$array1
= array("a" => "verde", "b" => "marrom", "c" => "azul", "vermelho");
$array2 = array("a" => "verde", "amarelo", "vermelho");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

Array
(
    [b] => marrom
    [c] => azul
    [0] => vermelho
)

Exemplo #2 Exemplo da função array_diff_assoc()

Dois valores dos pares chave => valor são considerados iguais somente se (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . Em outras palavras, uma checagem estrita de string é feita para que representações de string sejam as mesmas.

<?php
$array1
= array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>

O exemplo acima produzirá:

Array
(
    [0] => 0
    [1] => 1
)

Notas

Nota: Esta função checa somente uma dimensão de um array n-dimensional. É possível verificar dimensões mais profundas usando, por exemplo, array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

Nota: Certifique-se de que os argumentos sejam passados na ordem correta ao comparar arrays semelhantes com mais chaves. O novo array deve ser o primeiro array da lista.

The array_diff_assoc_array from "chinello at gmail dot com" (and others) will not work for arrays with null values. That's because !isset is true when an array key doesn't exists or is set to null.

(sorry for the changed indent-style)
<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2) {
$difference=array();
foreach(
$array1 as $key => $value) {
if(
is_array($value) ) {
if( !isset(
$array2[$key]) || !is_array($array2[$key]) ) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
} else {
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if( !empty(
$new_diff) )
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
} else if( !
array_key_exists($key,$array2) || $array2[$key] !== $value ) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return
$difference;
}
?>

And here an example (note index 'b' in the output):
<?php
$a1
=array( 'a' => 0, 'b' => null, 'c' => array( 'd' => null ) );
$a2=array( 'a' => 0, 'b' => null );

var_dump( array_diff_assoc_recursive( $a1, $a2 ) );
var_dump( chinello_array_diff_assoc_recursive( $a1, $a2 ) );
?>
array(1) {
["c"]=>
array(1) {
["d"]=>
NULL
}
}

array(2) {
["b"]=>
NULL
["c"]=>
array(1) {
["d"]=>
NULL
}
}

The direction of the arguments does actually make a difference:

<?php
$a
= array(
'x' => 'x',
'y' => 'y',
'z' => 'z',
't' => 't',
);

$b = array(
'x' => 'x',
'y' => 'y',
'z' => 'z',
't' => 't',
'g' => 'g',
);

print_r(array_diff_assoc($a, $b));
print_r(array_diff_assoc($b, $a));
?>

echoes:

Array
(
)
Array
(
[g] => g
)

an earlier post for recursive array_diff_assoc failed because isset returned false on an array element containing a null value. I updated the code so it compares null values too.

<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
foreach(
$array1 as $key => $value)
{
if(
is_array($value))
{
if(!isset(
$array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
elseif(!
is_array($array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
else
{
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if(
$new_diff != FALSE)
{
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
}
}
elseif(!
array_key_exists($key, $array2) || $array2[$key] != $value)
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return !isset(
$difference) ? 0 : $difference;
}
?>

If you're looking for a true array_diff_assoc, comparing arrays to determine the difference between two, finding missing values from both, you can use this along with array_merge.

$a = array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'c'=>3);
$b = array('a'=>1,'b'=>2,'d'=>4);
print_r(array_diff_assoc($a,$b));
// returns:
array
(
[c] => 3
)

print_r(array_diff_assoc($b,$a));
// returns
array
(
[d] => 4
)

print_r(array_merge(array_diff_assoc($a,$b),array_diff_assoc($b,$a)));
// returns
array
(
[c] => 3
[d] => 4
)

The following will recursively do an array_diff_assoc, which will calculate differences on a multi-dimensional level. This not display any notices if a key don't exist and if error_reporting is set to E_ALL:

<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
foreach(
$array1 as $key => $value)
{
if(
is_array($value))
{
if(!isset(
$array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
elseif(!
is_array($array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
else
{
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if(
$new_diff != FALSE)
{
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
}
}
elseif(!isset(
$array2[$key]) || $array2[$key] != $value)
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return !isset(
$difference) ? 0 : $difference;
}
?>

Works more like the original function:

<?php

function array_diff_assoc_recursive ( )
{
$args = func_get_args ( );
$diff = array ( );
foreach (
array_shift ( $args ) as $key => $val )
{
for (
$i = 0, $j = 0, $tmp = array ( $val ) , $count = count ( $args ); $i < $count; $i++ )
if (
is_array ( $val ) )
if ( !isset (
$args[$i][$key] ) || !is_array ( $args[$i][$key] ) || empty( $args[$i][$key] ) )
$j++;
else
$tmp[] = $args[$i][$key];
elseif ( !
array_key_exists ( $key, $args[$i] ) || $args[$i][$key] !== $val )
$j++;
if (
is_array ( $val ) )
{
$tmp = call_user_func_array ( __FUNCTION__, $tmp );
if ( ! empty (
$tmp ) ) $diff[$key] = $tmp;
elseif (
$j == $count ) $diff[$key] = $val;
}
elseif (
$j == $count && $count ) $diff[$key] = $val;
}

return
$diff;
}

NOTE: the diff_array also removes all the duplicate values that match to the values in the second array:

<?php
$array1
= array("a","b","c","a","a");
$array2 = array("a");

$diff = array_diff($array1,$array2);

// yields: array("b","c") the duplicate "a" values are removed

To unset elements in an array if you know the keys but not the values, you can do:

<?php
$a
= array("foo", "bar", "baz", "quux");
$b = array(1, 3); // Elements to get rid of

foreach($b as $e)
unset(
$a[$e]);
?>

Of course this makes most sense if $b has many elements or is dynamically generated.

A quite simple (yet not very efficient) way to compare the first level of arrays which have values that are not strings:
array_map('unserialize',array_diff_assoc(array_map('serialize',$arr1),array_map('serialize',$arr2)))
Might be useful for debugging (that's what I use it for).

array_diff_assoc can also be used to find the duplicates in an array

<?php
$arr
= array('1','2','3','4','3','2','5');
$uniques = array_unique($arr);
// array_diff will not work here, array_diff_assoc works as it takes the key // in account.
$dups = array_diff_assoc($arr, $uniques);

print_r($dups);
?>

Note: The index of the $dups is not in strict sequential order as expected by C programmer.

To diff between n-dimensional array, juste use this :

<?php
function array_diff_values($tab1, $tab2)
{
$result = array();
foreach(
$tab1 as $values) if(! in_array($values, $tab2)) $result[] = $values;
return
$result;
}
?>

Recursive implementation accepting multiple n-level-arrays as parameters:

<?php
function recursiveDiff() {
$arrs = func_get_args();
$first = array_shift($arrs);
$diff = [];

foreach(
$first as $key => $value) {
$values = array_map(function($arr) use($key){
if (
is_array($arr) && !array_key_exists($key, $arr))
return
null;

return
$arr[$key];
},
$arrs);

if (
in_array($value, $values))
continue;

if (
is_array($value)) {
array_unshift($values, $value);
$diff[$key] = call_user_func_array(__FUNCTION__, $values);
continue;
}

$diff[$key] = $first[$key];
}

return
$diff;
}
?>

The other attempt was cleaner but didn't work for all cases.

For recursive diff of multiple arrays, exending solution provided by Gosh.

<?php

function array_diff_assoc_recursive(array $array, array ...$arrays)
{
$func = function($array1, $array2) use (&$func){
$difference = [];
foreach (
$array1 as $key => $value) {
if (
is_array($value)) {
if (!isset(
$array2[$key]) || !is_array($array2[$key])) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
} else {
$new_diff = $func($value, $array2[$key]);
if (!empty(
$new_diff)) {
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
}
} else {
if (!
array_key_exists($key, $array2) || $array2[$key] !== $value) {
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
}
return
$difference;
};
$diffs = $array;
foreach (
$arrays as $_array) {
$diffs = $func($diffs, $_array);
}
return
$diffs;
}

PHP associative keys are case-sensitive, key "a" is different from key "A":

<?php
$arr
= ["A" => 666];
var_dump($arr["a"]);
var_dump($arr["A"]);
?>

produces:
NULL
int(666)

And in the same way, array_diff_assoc treats keys case-sensitively, and key "A" is not equal to key "a" and will be diffed:

<?php
// in arrays below value of "a" and "A" are the same, but keys are different
// values of "b" are different
// values of "c" are the same
$compareWhat = ["a" => 666, "b" => 666, "c" => 666, ];
$compareWith = ["A" => 666, "b" => 667, "c" => 666, ];

var_dump(array_diff_assoc($compareWhat, $compareWith));
?>

produces:
array(2) {
["a"]=> int(666)
["b"]=> int(666)
}

And if the order of values in array is different, the order of the result will be different, although essentially the result stays the same:

<?php
// the same as above, but "b" comes before "a" in $compareWhat
$compareWhat = ["b" => 666, "a" => 666, "c" => 666, ];
$compareWith = ["A" => 666, "b" => 667, "c" => 666, ];

var_dump(array_diff_assoc($compareWhat, $compareWith));
?>

produces:
array(2) {
["b"]=> int(666)
["a"]=> int(666)
}

Yet another recursive implementation, without if-else hell and with multiple parameters just like the original.

<?php
function recursiveDiff() {
$arrs = func_get_args();
$diff = call_user_func_array('array_diff_assoc', $arrs);

foreach(
$diff as $key => $value) {
if (!
is_array($value))
continue;

$children = array_map(function($arr) use($key){
return
$arr[$key];
},
$arrs);

$diff[$key] = call_user_func_array(__FUNCTION__, $children);
}

return
$diff;
}

I've had to use your function but it showed that the use of isset can't differentiate the NULL values from not setted values.

Here's a version that takes care of this subtility.

<?php
function array_diff_assoc_recursive($array1, $array2)
{
$difference = NULL;
foreach(
$array1 as $key => $value)
{
if(
is_array($value))
{
if(!
array_key_exists($key, $array2))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
elseif(!
is_array($array2[$key]))
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
else
{
$new_diff = array_diff_assoc_recursive($value, $array2[$key]);
if(
$new_diff != FALSE)
{
$difference[$key] = $new_diff;
}
}
}
elseif(!
array_key_exists($key, $array2) || $array2[$key] != $value)
{
$difference[$key] = $value;
}
}
return !isset(
$difference) ? 0 : $difference;
}
?>

Hope that helps
