PHP Array
This function takes two or more arrays as input and then returns the associative array containing all the values in input array ( $array1) that are present in all of the arguments. ( keys are not considered for comparison )
$new_array = array_intersect ($array1, $array2,....);
$array1 : Required , the input array which will be checked.
$array2 : Required , the values to be matched with $array1.
Here values are used for comparison ( Keys are not considered ). ( In array_intersect_assoc() Both values and keys are considered for comparison )
Example 1
$first=array(1,2,3,4);
$second=array(1,2,3,5);
$result1=array_intersect($first,$second);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($result1)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}
Output is here.
0 -> 1
1 -> 2
2 -> 3
Keys of the first index are retained. ( no re-indexing done here) .
Example 2
$first=array('One' =>1,'Two'=>2,'Three'=>3,'Four'=>'Fourth');
$second=array('One'=>1,'Two'=>2,'Third'=>3);
$result1=array_intersect_assoc($first,$second);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($result1)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}
Output is here.
One -> 1
Two -> 2
Three -> 3
Example: Associative Arrays
$array1 = ["a" => "green", "b" => "red", "c" => "blue"];
$array2 = ["b" => "green", "c" => "yellow"];
$result = array_intersect($array1, $array2);
print_r($result); // Output: Array ( [a] => green )
Example: Case-Insensitive Intersections
$array1 = ["Red", "Green", "Blue"];
$array2 = ["red", "green"];
$result = array_intersect(array_map('strtolower', $array1), array_map('strtolower', $array2));
print_r($result); // Output: Array ( [0] => red [1] => green )
