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, )
array_diff_key
(PHP 5 >= 5.1.0)
array_diff_key — 使用键名比较计算数组的差集
说明
array array_diff_key
( array $array1
, array $array2
[, array $ ...
] )
array_diff_key() 返回一个数组,该数组包括了所有出现在 array1 中但是未出现在任何其它参数数组中的键名的值。注意关联关系保留不变。本函数和 array_diff() 相同只除了比较是根据键名而不是值来进行的。
Example#1 array_diff_key() 例子
<?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));
?>
上例将输出:
array(2) { ["red"]=> int(2) ["purple"]=> int(4) }
在 key => value 对中的两个键名仅在 (string) $key1 === (string) $key2 时被认为相等。换句话说,执行的是严格类型检查,因此字符串的表达必须完全一样。
Note: 注意本函数只检查了多维数组中的一维。当然,可以用 array_diff_key($array1[0], $array2[0]); 来检查更深的维度。
参见 array_diff(),array_udiff(),array_diff_assoc(),array_diff_uassoc(),array_udiff_assoc(),array_udiff_uassoc(),array_diff_ukey(),array_intersect(),array_intersect_assoc(),array_intersect_uassoc(),array_intersect_key() 和 array_intersect_ukey()。

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:

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

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