array_replace(3) [php man page]

ARRAY_REPLACE(3)							 1							  ARRAY_REPLACE(3)

array_replace - Replaces elements from passed arrays into the first array

SYNOPSIS
array array_replace (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
array_replace(3) replaces the values of $array1 with values having the same keys in each of the following arrays. If a key from the first array exists in the second array, its value will be replaced by the value from the second array. If the key exists in the second array, and not the first, it will be created in the first array. If a key only exists in the first array, it will be left as is. If several arrays are passed for replacement, they will be processed in order, the later arrays overwriting the previous values. array_replace(3) is not recursive : it will replace values in the first array by whatever type is in the second array. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array in which elements are replaced. o $array2 - The array from which elements will be extracted. o $... - More arrays from which elements will be extracted. Values from later arrays overwrite the previous values. RETURN VALUES
Returns an array, or NULL if an error occurs. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_replace(3) example <?php $base = array("orange", "banana", "apple", "raspberry"); $replacements = array(0 => "pineapple", 4 => "cherry"); $replacements2 = array(0 => "grape"); $basket = array_replace($base, $replacements, $replacements2); print_r($basket); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [0] => grape [1] => banana [2] => apple [3] => raspberry [4] => cherry ) SEE ALSO

ARRAY_DIFF_ASSOC(3)							 1						       ARRAY_DIFF_ASSOC(3)

array_diff_assoc - Computes the difference of arrays with additional index check

SYNOPSIS
array array_diff_assoc (array $array1, array $array2, [array $...]) DESCRIPTION
Compares $array1 against $array2 and returns the difference. Unlike array_diff(3) the array keys are also used in the comparison. PARAMETERS
o $array1 - The array to compare from o $array2 - An array to compare against o $... - More arrays to compare against RETURN VALUES
Returns an array containing all the values from $array1 that are not present in any of the other arrays. EXAMPLES
Example #1 array_diff_assoc(3) example In this example you see the "a" => "green" pair is present in both arrays and thus it is not in the output from the function. Unlike this, the pair 0 => "red" is in the output because in the second argument "red" has key which is 1. <?php $array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red"); $array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red"); $result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [b] => brown [c] => blue [0] => red ) Example #2 array_diff_assoc(3) example Two values from key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . In other words a strict check takes place so the string representations must be the same. <?php $array1 = array(0, 1, 2); $array2 = array("00", "01", "2"); $result = array_diff_assoc($array1, $array2); print_r($result); ?> The above example will output: Array ( [0] => 0 [1] => 1 ) NOTES
Note This function only checks one dimension of a n-dimensional array. Of course you can check deeper dimensions by using, for example, array_diff_assoc($array1[0], $array2[0]);. Note Ensure you pass arguments in the correct order when comparing similar arrays with more keys. The new array should be the first in the list. SEE ALSO
