My task: Compare an array before and after an operation and be able to tell what was added and what was deleted. What I did: Read a ton of these comments and found several very convoluted solutions. What I then did: Engage the brain and re-read the manual for array_diff() What I came up with: 2 lines of functional code: $before = array(1,2,3); $after = array(2,4,5); $toDelete = array_diff($before,$after); $toAdd = array_diff($after,$before); ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 212.118.224.149 (proxied: 62.255.164.28) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-diff.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108574 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108574 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108574 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
