array_intersect_assoc ( array array1, array array2 [, array ...])
array_intersect_assoc() 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().
Example 1. array_intersect_assoc() example <?php
$array1 = array("a" => "green", "b" => "brown", "c" => "blue", "red");
$array2 = array("a" => "green", "yellow", "red");
$result_array = array_intersect_assoc($array1, $array2);
?> |
$result_array will look like: |
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.
The two values from the key => value pairs are considered equal only if (string) $elem1 === (string) $elem2 . In otherwords a strict type check is executed so the string representation must be the same.
