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
}
}
array_diff_assoc
(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
array_diff_assoc — Berechnet den Unterschied zwischen Arrays mit zusätzlicher Indexprüfung
Beschreibung
array_diff_assoc
( array
$array1
, array $array2
, array $... = ?
) : array
Vergleicht array1 mit array2 und
gibt den Unterschied zurück. Im Gegensatz zu array_diff()
werden die Schlüssel des Arrays ebenfalls beim Vergleich herangezogen.
Parameter-Liste
-
array1 -
Das Array, das verglichen werden soll
-
array2 -
Das Array, mit dem verglichen werden soll
-
... -
Weitere Arrays, mit denen vergleichen werden soll
Rückgabewerte
Gibt ein Array zurück, das alle Werte aus
array1 enthält, die in keinem der
anderen Arrays vorhanden ist.
Beispiele
Beispiel #1 array_diff_assoc()-Beispiel
In diesem Beispiel sieht man, dass das
"a" => "gruen"-Paar in beiden Arrays enthalten ist
und daher nicht in der Ausgabe der Funktion auftaucht. Andererseits ist das
Paar 0 => "rot" in der Ausgabe, weil
"red" im zweiten Array den Wert
1 enthält.
<?php
$array1 = array("a" => "gruen", "b" => "braun", "c" => "blau", "rot");
$array2 = array("a" => "gruen", "gelb", "rot");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
Array
(
[b] => braun
[c] => blau
[0] => rot
)
Beispiel #2 array_diff_assoc()-Beispiel
Zwei Werte von Schlüssel => Wert-Paaren werden nur
dann als gleich betrachtet, wenn (string) $elem1 === (string)
$elem2 gilt. Anders ausgedrückt findet eine strikte Prüfung statt,
in der die String-Repräsentationen gleich sein müssen.
<?php
$array1 = array(0, 1, 2);
$array2 = array("00", "01", "2");
$result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
?>
Das oben gezeigte Beispiel erzeugt folgende Ausgabe:
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 1
)
Anmerkungen
Hinweis: Diese Funktion überprüft nur eine Dimension eines n-dimensionalen Arrays. Natürlich kann man tiefere Dimensionen überprüfen, indem man zum Beispiel
array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);verwendet.
Hinweis: Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie die Parameter in der korrekten Reihenfolge übergeben, wenn Sie mit ähnlichen Arrays mit mehr Schlüsseln vergleichen. Das neue Array sollte das erste in der Liste sein.

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;
}
?>

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;
}
?>

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
)

array_diff_assoc will fail, if a value is something that can not be converted to a string.

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;
}
?>

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.

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.

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
?>

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).

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;
}

there is a functiont that i searched long enough now i have created it so someone else to find it if he need it ;]
<?php
function compare_two_object_recursive($object_1, $object_2, $object_1_Identifier = false, $object_2_Identifier = false){

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
François
