Testing, it seem the comparing cryptographic hashes of the badges array, serialized as a JSON file, do not provide as much consistency as comparing an array stored in the DB with a recently generated array using the PHP function array_diff_assoc():

Code:
array array_diff_assoc ( array $array1 , array $array2 [, array $... ] )

So, tomorrow I will refine the alert code to also use array_diff_assoc() .

Currently am comparing a generated hash with a stored hash as a cookie. This works well, but it could be even better, so I'm going to do both (I think), compare the hashes and also compare the badge arrays. Still testing ...

Also, I'm going to stop posting in the Underground and move this thread to the main forums.

ARRAY_UDIFF_ASSOC(3)							 1						      ARRAY_UDIFF_ASSOC(3)

array_udiff_assoc - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check, compares data by a callback function

SYNOPSIS
array array_udiff_assoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...], callable $value_compare_func) DESCRIPTION
Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check, compares data by a callback function. Note Please note that this function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_udiff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0], "some_comparison_func");. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The first array. o $array2 - The second array. o $value_compare_func - The comparison function must return an integer less than, equal to, or greater than zero if the first argument is considered to be respectively less than, equal to, or greater than the second. int callback (mixed $a, mixed $b) RETURN VALUES
array_udiff_assoc(3) returns an array containing all the values from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arguments. Note that the keys are used in the comparison unlike array_diff(3) and array_udiff(3). The comparison of arrays' data is performed by using an user- supplied callback. In this aspect the behaviour is opposite to the behaviour of array_diff_assoc(3) which uses internal function for com- parison. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_udiff_assoc(3) example <?php class cr { private $priv_member; function cr($val) { $this->priv_member = $val; } static function comp_func_cr($a, $b) { if ($a->priv_member === $b->priv_member) return 0; return ($a->priv_member > $b->priv_member)? 1:-1; } } $a = array("0.1" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(12), 0 => new cr(23), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),); $b = array("0.2" => new cr(9), "0.5" => new cr(22), 0 => new cr(3), 1=> new cr(4), 2 => new cr(-15),); $result = array_udiff_assoc($a, $b, array("cr", "comp_func_cr")); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [0.1] => cr Object ( [priv_member:private] => 9 ) [0.5] => cr Object ( [priv_member:private] => 12 ) [0] => cr Object ( [priv_member:private] => 23 ) ) In our example above you see the "1" => new cr(4) pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function.
