[Question] Matching an array in PHP

**~~ev1~~** · 03-03-2011

Basically i want to take an array of numbers let's say:

Code:

<?
$array1=array("1","2","3","4");
?>

Now say i reprint that same array, but the 3 is missing.

Code:

<?
$array2=array("1","2","4");
?>

How would i print what's missing from $array1 out of $array2?

Sorry if this is confusing, i'll be happy to go into details if needed.

Got a fix, i wasn't thinking right today

- asked on another forum and go this as a reply:

Code:

<?php
$arr1 = array(1, 2, 3, 4);
$arr2 = array(1, 2, 4);

$difference = array_diff($arr1, $arr2); // Returns all values from arr1 that are not present in arr2

print_r($difference); // Array(0 => 3)
?>
