The array_intersect Function
The array_intersect
function computes
the intersection of arrays - it returns an array
of elements that are present in all arrays
passed to the function.
Syntax
array_intersect(array $array, array ...$arrays): array
Example
Let's find which elements are present in both arrays:
<?php
$arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$arr2 = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
$res = array_intersect($arr1, $arr2);
var_dump($res);
?>
Code execution result:
[3, 4, 5]
Example
Let's find which common elements are present in three arrays:
<?php
$arr1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$arr2 = [3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
$arr3 = [4, 5, 6, 7, 8];
$res = array_intersect($arr1, $arr2, $arr3);
var_dump($res);
?>
Code execution result:
[4, 5]
