What I was needing was a way to diff multidimension arrays by a given key.... I came up with this.
<?php
/*
* Multidimension array subtract by a sub key.
*
* $array1 = array(
* array(
* "name" => "Foo",
* "mail" => "foo@moo.net"
* ),
* array(
* "name" => "Bar",
* "mail" => "bar@bie.com"
* )
* );
*
* $array2 = array(
* array(
* "name" => "Foo",
* "mail" => "foo@moo.net"
* ),
* array(
* "name" => "Xpto",
* "mail" => "xpto@xp.to"
* )
* );
*
* $result = array_subtract($array1, $array2, "name");
*
* $result = array(
* array(
* "name" => "Bar",
* "mail" => "bar@bie.com"
* )
* );
*

function array_subtract($array1,$array2,$compareString) {
if (!is_array($array1) || !is_array($array2) || !$compareString) {
return false;
}
$arrResult = array();
foreach ($array1 as $arrInsideArray1) {
foreach ($array2 as $arrInsideArray2) {
$found=false;
if ($arrInsideArray1[$compareString]==$arrInsideArray2[$compareString]) {
$found=true;
break;
}
}
if (!$found) {
array_push($arrResult,$arrInsideArray1);
}
}
return $arrResult;
}
?>
