array_udiff : Difference between two or more arrays by comparing values using callback function

array_udiff(): Difference between two arrays comparing values through callback function

This function takes two or more arrays as input and then returns the result array as difference.

$new_array = array_udiff ($array1, $array2,....,my_function());

my_function() : is the callback function to return integer less than , equal to or greater than zero after comparing the keys.

Returns all elements of $array1 which are not present in $array2 considering keys. Keys comparison is done through call-back function my_function().

Example with two arrays

function my_function($a, $b)
{
    if ($a === $b) {
        return 0;
    }
    return ($a > $b)? 1:-1;
}

$first=array('One' =>'First','Two'=>'Second','Three'=>'Third','Fourth');
$second=array('One'=> 'First','2nd','Third');

$result=array_udiff($first,$second,"my_function");
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($result)) {
echo "$key -> $val <br>";
}

Output is here.

Two -> Second 
0 -> Fourth

Keys of the first index are retained. ( no re-indexing done here) . The element with value Third is not included in output as the value is matching with $second array.
