BASH doesn't have boolean types. The existence of a program named 'true' doesn't change this.

BASH doesn't have associative arrays, either. You can't use words as array indexes.

ARRAY_INTERSECT_ASSOC(3)						 1						  ARRAY_INTERSECT_ASSOC(3)

array_intersect_assoc - Computes the intersection of arrays with additional index check

SYNOPSIS
array array_intersect_assoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
array_intersect_assoc(3) returns an array containing all the values of $array1 that are present in all the arguments. Note that the keys are used in the comparison unlike in array_intersect(3). PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array with master values to check. o $array2 - An array to compare values against. o $... - A variable list of arrays to compare. RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array containing all the values in $array1 that are present in all of the arguments. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_intersect_assoc(3) example <?php $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "yellow", "blue", "red"); $result_array = array_intersect_assoc($array1, $array2); print_r($result_array); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [a] => green ) In our example you see that only the pair "a" => "green" is present in both arrays and thus is returned. The value "red" is not returned because in $array1 its key is 0 while the key of "red" in $array2 is 1, and the key "b" is not returned because its values are different in each array. The two values from the key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . In other words a strict type check is executed so the string representation must be the same. SEE ALSO
