array_diff（）函数没有显示正确的结果

Question

array_diff() function not showing correct result:-

First Array:-

     Array(
    [designation_id] => 1
    [name] => Y
    [fathers_name] => Z
    [mothers_name] => F
    [spouse_name] => d
    [gender] => F
    [last_achieved_degree] => 2
    [date_of_birth] => 1960-10-17
    [date_of_joining] => 1987-02-04
)

Second array:-

 Array
    (
        [designation_id] => 9
        [name] => M
        [fathers_name] => N
        [mothers_name] => O
        [spouse_name] => 
        [gender] => M
        [last_achieved_degree] => 1
        [date_of_birth] => 1967-11-17
        [date_of_joining] => 2016-01-01
    )

Output:

    Array
(
    [name] => Y
    [fathers_name] => Z
    [mothers_name] => F
    [spouse_name] => d
    [gender] => F
    [last_achieved_degree] => 2
    [date_of_birth] => 1960-10-17
    [date_of_joining] => 1987-02-04
)

designation id column not showing in output result. if designation-id value is 1 then this index not showing in output otherwise it showing. is it bug or something else?

Answer 1

Since your arrays are associative array, so you need to use array_diff_assoc:-

<?php

 $a =   Array(
    'designation_id' =>1,
    'name' => 'Y',
    'fathers_name' => 'Z',
    'mothers_name' => 'F',
    'spouse_name' => 'd',
    'gender' => 'F',
    'last_achieved_degree' => 2,
    'date_of_birth' => '1960-10-17',
    'date_of_joining' => '1987-02-04'
);

$b =Array
(
    'designation_id' => 9,
    'name' => 'M',
    'fathers_name' => 'N',
    'mothers_name' => 'O',
    'spouse_name' => '',
    'gender' => 'M',
    'last_achieved_degree' => 1,
    'date_of_birth' => '1967-11-17',
    'date_of_joining' => '2016-01-01',
);

echo "<pre/>";print_r(array_diff_assoc($a,$b));
