array_udiff — データの比較にコールバック関数を用い、配列の差を計算する

説明

array_udiff(array $array, array ...$arrays, callable $value_compare_func): array

データの比較にコールバック関数を用い、配列の差を計算します。この関数は array_diff() と異なり、データの比較に内部関数を利用します。

パラメータ

array: 最初の配列。
arrays: 比較対象の配列。
value_compare_func: 比較関数は、最初の引数と二番目の引数の比較結果を返します。最初の引数のほうが二番目の引数より大きい場合は正の整数を、二番目の引数と等しい場合はゼロを、そして二番目の引数より小さい場合は負の整数を返す必要があります。

callback(mixed $a, mixed $b): int

警告
float のような 非整数 を比較関数が返すと、その返り値を内部的に int にキャストして使います。つまり、0.99 や 0.1 といった値は整数値 0 にキャストされ、値が等しいとみなされます。

警告
ソートに使うコールバック関数は、任意の配列からの任意の値を、もともとの順番に関係なく、任意の順番で処理できなければいけません。なぜなら、個々の配列は、他の配列と比較する前に最初にソートされるからです。サンプルコードは、以下のようになります:

<?php $arrayA = ["string", 1]; $arrayB = [["value" => 1]]; // $item1 と $item2 は "string", 1, ["value" => 1] のいずれでも構いません $compareFunc = static function ($item1, $item2) { $value1 = is_string($item1) ? strlen($item1) : (is_array($item1) ? $item1["value"] : $item1); $value2 = is_string($item2) ? strlen($item2) : (is_array($item2) ? $item2["value"] : $item2); return $value1 <=> $value2; }; ?>

戻り値

他の引数のいずれにも存在しない array の値の全てを有する配列を返します。

例

例1 array_udiff() で stdClass オブジェクトを使う例

<?php
// 比較する配列
$array1 = array(new stdClass, new stdClass,
                new stdClass, new stdClass,
               );

$array2 = array(
                new stdClass, new stdClass,
               );

// オブジェクトにプロパティを設定します
$array1[0]->width = 11; $array1[0]->height = 3;
$array1[1]->width = 7;  $array1[1]->height = 1;
$array1[2]->width = 2;  $array1[2]->height = 9;
$array1[3]->width = 5;  $array1[3]->height = 7;

$array2[0]->width = 7;  $array2[0]->height = 5;
$array2[1]->width = 9;  $array2[1]->height = 2;

function compare_by_area($a, $b) {
    $areaA = $a->width * $a->height;
    $areaB = $b->width * $b->height;
    
    if ($areaA < $areaB) {
        return -1;
    } elseif ($areaA > $areaB) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }
}

print_r(array_udiff($array1, $array2, 'compare_by_area'));
?>

上の例の出力は以下となります。

Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [width] => 11
            [height] => 3
        )

    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [width] => 7
            [height] => 1
        )

)

例2 array_udiff() で DateTime オブジェクトを使う例

<?php
class MyCalendar {
    public $free = array();
    public $booked = array();

    public function __construct($week = 'now') {
        $start = new DateTime($week);
        $start->modify('Monday this week midnight');
        $end = clone $start;
        $end->modify('Friday this week midnight');
        $interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
        foreach (new DatePeriod($start, $interval, $end) as $freeTime) {
            $this->free[] = $freeTime;
        }
    }

    public function bookAppointment(DateTime $date, $note) {
        $this->booked[] = array('date' => $date->modify('midnight'), 'note' => $note);
    }

    public function checkAvailability() {
        return array_udiff($this->free, $this->booked, array($this, 'customCompare'));
    }
    
    public function customCompare($free, $booked) {
        if (is_array($free)) $a = $free['date'];
        else $a = $free;
        if (is_array($booked)) $b = $booked['date'];
        else $b = $booked;
        if ($a == $b) {
            return 0;
        } elseif ($a > $b) {
            return 1;
        } else {
            return -1;
        }
    }
}

// 毎週の予約用のカレンダーを作ります
$myCalendar = new MyCalendar;

// 今週の予約を入れます
$myCalendar->bookAppointment(new DateTime('Monday this week'), "Cleaning GoogleGuy's apartment.");
$myCalendar->bookAppointment(new DateTime('Wednesday this week'), "Going on a snowboarding trip.");
$myCalendar->bookAppointment(new DateTime('Friday this week'), "Fixing buggy code.");

// 空きが何日あるかを調べるため、$booked の日数と $free の日数を比べます
echo "I'm available on the following days this week...\n\n";
foreach ($myCalendar->checkAvailability() as $free) {
    echo $free->format('l'), "\n"; 
}
echo "\n\n";
echo "I'm busy on the following days this week...\n\n";
foreach ($myCalendar->booked as $booked) {
    echo $booked['date']->format('l'), ": ", $booked['note'], "\n"; 
}
?>

上の例の出力は以下となります。

I'm available on the following days this week...

Tuesday
Thursday


I'm busy on the following days this week...

Monday: Cleaning GoogleGuy's apartment.
Wednesday: Going on a snowboarding trip.
Friday: Fixing buggy code.

注意

注意: この関数は n 次元配列の一つの次元しかチェックしないことに注意してください。もちろん、array_udiff($array1[0], $array2[0], "data_compare_func"); のようにすることでより深い次元でのチェックもできます。

I think the example given here using classes is convoluting things too much to demonstrate what this function does.

array_udiff() will walk through array_values($a) and array_values($b) and compare each value by using the passed in callback function.

To put it another way, array_udiff() compares $a[0] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3] using the provided callback function.  If the callback returns zero for any of the comparisons then $a[0] will not be in the returned array from array_udiff().  It then compares $a[1] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3].  Then, finally, $a[2] to $b[0], $b[1], $b[2], and $b[3].

For example, compare_ids($a[0], $b[0]) === -5 while compare_ids($a[1], $b[1]) === 0.  Therefore, $a[1] is not returned from array_udiff() since it is present in $b.

<?
$a = array(
        array(
                'id' => 10,
                'name' => 'John',
                'color' => 'red',
        ),
        array(
                'id' => 20,
                'name' => 'Elise',
                'color' => 'blue',
        ),
        array(
                'id' => 30,
                'name' => 'Mark',
                'color' => 'red',
        ),
);

$b = array(
        array(
                'id' => 15,
                'name' => 'Nancy',
                'color' => 'black',
        ),
        array(
                'id' => 20,
                'name' => 'Elise',
                'color' => 'blue',
        ),
        array(
                'id' => 30,
                'name' => 'Mark',
                'color' => 'red',
        ),
        array(
                'id' => 40,
                'name' => 'John',
                'color' => 'orange',
        ),
);

function compare_ids($a, $b)
{
    return ($a['id'] - $b['id']);
}
function compare_names($a, $b)
{
    return strcmp($a['name'], $b['name']);
}

$ret = array_udiff($a, $b, 'compare_ids');
var_dump($ret);

$ret = array_udiff($b, $a, 'compare_ids');
var_dump($ret);

$ret = array_udiff($a, $b, 'compare_names');
var_dump($ret);
?>

Which returns the following.

In the first return we see that $b has no entry in it with an id of 10.
<?
array(1) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    int(10)
    ["name"]=>
    string(4) "John"
    ["color"]=>
    string(3) "red"
  }
}
?>

In the second return we see that $a has no entry in it with an id of 15 or 40.
<?
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    int(15)
    ["name"]=>
    string(5) "Nancy"
    ["color"]=>
    string(5) "black"
  }
  [3]=>
  array(3) {
    ["id"]=>
    int(40)
    ["name"]=>
    string(4) "John"
    ["color"]=>
    string(6) "orange"
  }
}
?>

In third return we see that all names in $a are in $b (even though the entry in $b whose name is 'John' is different, the anonymous function is only comparing names).
<?
array(0) {
}
?>

Note that the compare function is used also internally, to order the arrays and choose which element compare against in the next round.

If your compare function is not really comparing (ie. returns 0 if elements are equals, 1 otherwise), you will receive an unexpected result.

Re: "convoluted"

I think the point being made is that array_udiff() can be used not only for comparisons between homogenous arrays, as in your example (and definitely the most common need), but it can be used to compare heterogeneous arrays, too.

Consider:

<?php
function compr_1($a, $b) {
    $aVal = is_array($a) ? $a['last_name'] : $a;
    $bVal = is_array($b) ? $b['last_name'] : $b;
    return strcasecmp($aVal, $bVal);
}

$aEmployees = array(
    array('last_name'  => 'Smith',
            'first_name' => 'Joe',
            'phone'      => '555-1000'),
    array('last_name'  => 'Doe',
            'first_name' => 'John',
            'phone'      => '555-2000'),
    array('last_name'  => 'Flagg',
            'first_name' => 'Randall',
            'phone'      => '666-1000')
    );

$aNames = array('Doe', 'Smith', 'Johnson');
    
$result = array_udiff($aEmployees, $aNames, "compr_1");

print_r($result);
?>

Allowing me to get the "employee" that's not in the name list:

Array ( [2] => Array ( [last_name] => Flagg [first_name] => Randall [phone] => 666-1000 ) )

Something interesting to note, is that the two arguments to the compare function don't correspond to array1 and array2.  That's why there has to be logic in it to handle that either of the arguments might be pointing to the more complex employee array.  (Found this out the hard way.)

It is not stated, by this function also diffs array1 to itself, removing any duplicate values...

Quick example for using array_udiff to do a multi-dimensional diff



Returns values of $arr1 that are not in $arr2



<?php

$arr1 = array( array('Bob', 42), array('Phil', 37), array('Frank', 39) );

        

$arr2 = array( array('Phil', 37), array('Mark', 45) );

        

$arr3 = array_udiff($arr1, $arr2, create_function(

    '$a,$b',

    'return strcmp( implode("", $a), implode("", $b) ); ')

    );

        

print_r($arr3);

?>



Output:



Array

(

    [0] => Array

        (

            [0] => Bob

            [1] => 42

        )

 

    [2] => Array

        (

            [0] => Frank

            [1] => 39

        )

 

)

I find it that this is an ideal place to apply the spaceship operator, but it was not used in the examples. 

Here is Example#1 using the spaceship operator in the comparison function. 

    <?php
    // Arrays to compare
    $array1 = array(new stdclass, new stdclass,
                    new stdclass, new stdclass,
                   );

    $array2 = array(
                    new stdclass, new stdclass,
                   );

    // Set some properties for each object
    $array1[0]->width = 11; $array1[0]->height = 3;
    $array1[1]->width = 7;  $array1[1]->height = 1;
    $array1[2]->width = 2;  $array1[2]->height = 9;
    $array1[3]->width = 5;  $array1[3]->height = 7;

    $array2[0]->width = 7;  $array2[0]->height = 5;
    $array2[1]->width = 9;  $array2[1]->height = 2;

    function compare_by_area($a, $b) {
        $areaA = $a->width * $a->height;
        $areaB = $b->width * $b->height;
    
        return $areaA <=> $areaB;
    }

    print_r(array_udiff($array1, $array2, 'compare_by_area'));
    ?>

The output is:
    Array
    (
        [0] => stdClass Object
            (
                [width] => 11
                [height] => 3
            )
    
        [1] => stdClass Object
            (
                [width] => 7
                [height] => 1
            )
    
    )

I find it is pretty awesome you can substitute all of these lines:
    if ($areaA < $areaB) {
        return -1;
    } elseif ($areaA > $areaB) {
        return 1;
    } else {
        return 0;
    }

with just:

    return $areaA <=> $areaB;

Neat!

Very easy way of achieving a case-insensitive version of array_diff (or indeed array_diff_assoc, array_intersect or any of these types of functions which have a similar function that takes a callback function as one of their parameters):

array_udiff($array1, $array2, 'strcasecmp');

This works because strcasecmp() compares two strings case-insensitively, as compared to the array_diff() which compares two strings by using the == operator, which is case-sensitive.

Note that php does the string conversion *before* sending the values to the callback function.
