array_diff doesn't work with arrays of objects because it compares the string-represantation of
the arguments (which is always "Object" for an object).
Here is an easy way to compute the difference of two arrays of objects :
<?php
...
function array_obj_diff ($array1, $array2) {
foreach ($array1 as $key => $value) {
$array1[$key] = serialize ($value);
}
foreach ($array2 as $key => $value) {
$array2[$key] = serialize ($value);
}
$array_diff = array_diff ($array1, $array2);
foreach ($array_diff as $key => $value) {
$array_diff[$key] = unserialize ($value);
}
return $array_diff;
}
array_obj_diff ($ao1, $ao2);
?>
