Compare the difference between two multidimensional arrays

Array Diff Multidimensional

, _(*1)

Works like the PHP array_diff() function, but with multidimensional arrays., _(*2)

Install

Via composer:, _(*3)

composer require rogervila/array-diff-multidimensional

Usage

use Rogervila\ArrayDiffMultidimensional;

$new = [
    'a' => 'b',
    'c' => [
        'd' => 'e',
        'f' => 'Hello',
    ],
];

$old = [
    'a' => 'b',
    'c' => [
        'd' => 'e',
        'f' => 'Goodbye',
    ],
];

// Compare the arrays by calling the 'compare' class method
$result = ArrayDiffMultidimensional::compare($new, $old)

// Or by calling the global helper function
$result = array_diff_multidimensional($new, $old)


var_dump($result);

The result of comparing $new with $old will return a new array with the changes:, _(*4)

[
    'c' => [
        'f' => 'Hello'
    ],
]

Strict vs. Loose comparisons

Comparisons are strict by default, but you can specify that you want to make a loose comparison passing a boolean as the third parameter for compare method or calling the looseComparison, _(*5)

// Passing 'false' as a third parameter will deactivate the strict comparison mode
ArrayDiffMultidimensional::compare($new, $old, false);

array_diff_multidimensional($new, $old, false);


// This method call is equivalent
ArrayDiffMultidimensional::looseComparison($new, $old);

Also, a strictComparison method is available for more clarity, _(*6)

// Comparisons are strict by default
ArrayDiffMultidimensional::compare($new, $old);

array_diff_multidimensional($new, $old);


// This method call is equivalent
ArrayDiffMultidimensional::strictComparison($new, $old);
