The array_uintersect Function
The array_uintersect
function computes the intersection of arrays using a callback function for value comparison. It returns an array containing all the values from the first array that are present in all the other arrays. Value comparison is done through a user-defined callback function.
Syntax
array_uintersect(array $array1, array $array2, ..., callable $value_compare_func): array;
Example
Find the intersection of two arrays by comparing their values using a callback function:
<?php
$array1 = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
$array2 = [2, 4, 6, 8, 10];
$res = array_uintersect($array1, $array2, function($a, $b) {
if ($a === $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a > $b) ? 1 : -1;
});
print_r($res);
?>
Code execution result:
[2, 4]
Example
Comparing string arrays using a custom function:
<?php
$array1 = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];
$array2 = ['b', 'd', 'f', 'h', 'j'];
$res = array_uintersect($array1, $array2, function($a, $b) {
return strcmp($a, $b);
});
print_r($res);
?>
Code execution result:
['b', 'd']
