I am trying to "subtract" the values of an array in php. I used array_diff but it doesn't seem to work for more than one value.
<?php
$array1 = array(1,3,7,10,7);
$array2 = array(1,7);
$result=array_diff($array1,$array2);
print_r($result);
?>
//Output//
Array ( [1] => 3 [3] => 10 )
What I would like to do is return 3,7,10 instead of excluding all 7's. Thanks in advance!
Try:
$array1 = array(1,3,7,10,7);
$removals = Array(1,7);
foreach( $removals as $remove ) {
foreach( $array1 as $key => $value ) {
if ($value === $remove ) {
unset($array1[ $key ]);
break;
}
}
}
print_r($array1); // Array ( [1] => 3 [3] => 10 [4] => 7 )
sort($array1)
print_r($array1); // Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 7 [2] => 10 )
sort() it.based on thelastshadows post but shorter and may faster because only one foreach
$array1 = array(1,3,7,10,7);
$removals = Array(1,7);
foreach( $removals as $remove ) {
unset($array1[array_search($remove,$array1)]);
}
sort($array1);
print_r($array1);
