array_count_values
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
?>

array_diff_assoc — Calcula la diferencia entre arrays con un chequeo adicional de índices
Descripción
array array_diff_assoc
( array
$array1
, array $array2
[, array $...
] )
Compara array1 contra array2 y
retorna la diferencia. A diferencia de array_diff(), también las claves
de los arrays son usadas en la comparación.
Parámetros
-
array1 -
Array a comparar
-
array2 -
Un array contra el cual comparar
-
... -
Más arrays contra los cuales comparar
Valores devueltos
Retorna un array conteniendo todos los valores del
array1 que no están presentes en ninguna de
los otros arrays.
Ejemplos
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de array_diff_assoc()
En éste ejemplo se ve que el par "a" => "green" está presente en ambos arrays y por lo tanto no está en la salida de la función. A diferencia de ésto, el par 0 => "red" está en la salida ya que en el segundo argumento "red" tiene una key que es 1.
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería:
Array
(
[b] => brown
[c] => blue
[0] => red
)
Ejemplo #2 Ejemplo de array_diff_assoc()
Dos valores de pares key => value son considerados iguales sólo si (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 . En otras palabras, un chequeo estricto se lleva a cabo de tal forma que las representaciones de cadena debe ser las mismas.
<?php
$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
El resultado del ejemplo sería:
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
Notas
Nota: Esta función sólo comprueba una dimensión de un array n-dimensional. Por supuesto, se pueden comprobar dimensiones más profundas mediante, por ejemplo, array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);.

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
}
}

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
)

Hi all,
For php versions < 4.3...
<?php
/**
* array_diff_assoc for version < 4.3
**/
if (!function_exists('array_diff_assoc'))
{
function array_diff_assoc($a1, $a2)
{
foreach($a1 as $key => $value)
{
if(isset($a2[$key]))
{
if((string) $value !== (string) $a2[$key])
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}else
{
$r[$key] = $value;
}
}
return $r ;
}
}
?>

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.

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
)

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;
}
?>

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;
}
?>
