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();
}
?>
array_diff_key
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
array_diff_key — Finder forskelligen på arrays ved brug af nøglerne
Beskrivelse
array_diff_key() returnerer et array som indeholder alle værdier fra array1 som har nøgler der ikke findes i nogen af de andre arrays der er blevet angivet. Bemærk at rækkefølgen og værdierne bliver beholdt. Denne funktion er lige som array_diff() bortset fra at sammenligningen sker på nøglerne istedet for værdierne.
Example#1 array_diff_key() eksempel
<?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));
?>
Ovenstående eksempel vil udskrive:
array(2) { ["red"]=> int(2) ["purple"]=> int(4) }
To nøgler key => value bliver betegnet kun betegnet som ens hvis (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . Altså hvis de er ens selvom de begge bliver lavet om til strenge.
Note: Denne funktion tjekker kun en dimension af et multidimensioneret array. Du kan selvfølgelig tjekke dybere i arrayet, f.eks. på denne måde: array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

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;
}
?>

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;
}
?>

after kwutzke's comment , here is a PHP4 array_diff_key fonction for those in need
function PHP4_array_diff_key()
{
$arrs = func_get_args();
$result = array_shift($arrs);
foreach ($arrs as $array) {
foreach ($result as $key => $v) {
if (array_key_exists($key, $array)) {
unset($result[$key]);
}
}
}
return $result;
}
works for me, enjoy.

PHP4 array_diff_key can be copied from the array_intersect_key implementation posted by some anonymous user on 2006-07-17. The only thing you have to do is to delete the '!' in the if and rename the function.

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.

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
07-Jun-2005 07:52
You may obtain this function with PEAR Package PHP_Compat (http://pear.php.net/package/PHP_Compat)
Then using such code is quite useful
<?php
if(!function_exists('array_diff_key')){
require_once 'PHP/Compat/Function/array_diff_key.php';
}
?>

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$

Be aware that the last solution doesn't work if for any reason, two values are the same.

<?php
function array_diff_key()
{
$args = func_get_args();
return array_flip(call_user_func_array('array_diff',
array_map('array_flip',$args)));
