A simple trick that can help you to guess what diff/intersect or sort function does by name.
[suffix] assoc - additional index check. Compares both value and index.
Example: array_diff_assoc, array_intersect_assoc.
[suffix] key - index only check. Ignores value of array, compares only indexes.
Example: array_diff_key, array_intersect_key.
[suffix] **empty** - no "key" or "assoc" word in suffix. Compares values only. Ignores indexes of array.
Example: array_diff, array_intersect.
[prefix] u - will do comparison with user defined function. Letter u can be used twice in some functions (like array_udiff_uassoc), this means that you have to use 2 functions (one for value, one for index).
Example: array_udiff_uassoc, array_uintersect_assoc.
This also works with array sort functions:
[prefix] a - associative. Will preserve keys.
Example: arsort, asort.
[prefix] k - key sort. Will sort array by keys.
Example: uksort, ksort.
[prefix] r - reverse. Will sort array in reverse order.
Example: rsort, krsort.
[prefix] u - sort by user defined function (same as for diff/intersect).
Example: usort, uasort.

Big arrays use a lot of memory possibly resulting in memory limit errors. You can reduce memory usage on your script by destroying them as soon as you´re done with them. I was able to get over a few megabytes of memory by simply destroying some variables I didn´t use anymore.
You can view the memory usage/gain by using the funcion memory_get_usage(). Hope this helps!

I need to take an element from the Array and change its position within the Array by moving the rest of the elements as required.
This is the function that does it. The first parameter is the working Array. The second is the position of the element to move and the third is the position where to move the element.
The function returns the modified Array.
<?php
function array_move_elem($array, $from, $to) {
if ($from == $to) { return $array; }
$c = count($array);
if (($c > $from) and ($c > $to)) {
if ($from < $to) {
$f = $array[$from];
for ($i = $from; $i < $to; $i++) {
$array[$i] = $array[$i+1];
}
$array[$to] = $f;
} else {
$f = $array[$from];
for ($i = $from; $i > $to; $i--) {
$array[$i] = $array[$i-1];
}
$array[$to] = $f;
}
}
return $array;
}
?>
Examples:
<?php
$array = array('Cero','Uno','Dos','Tres','Cuatro','Cinco','Seis','Siete','Ocho','Nueve','Diez');
$array = array_move_elem($array, 3, 5); // Move element in position 3 to position 5...
print_r($array);
$array = array_move_elem($array, 5, 3); // Move element in position 5 to position 3, leaving array as it was... ;)
print_r($array);
?>
Return:
<?php
Array ( [0] => Cero [1] => Uno [2] => Dos [3] => Cuatro [4] => Cinco [5] => Tres [6] => Seis [7] => Siete [8] => Ocho [9] => Nueve [10] => Diez )
Array ( [0] => Cero [1] => Uno [2] => Dos [3] => Tres [4] => Cuatro [5] => Cinco [6] => Seis [7] => Siete [8] => Ocho [9] => Nueve [10] => Diez )

Here is a function to find out the maximum depth of a multidimensional array.
<?php
// return depth of given array
// if Array is a string ArrayDepth() will return 0
// usage: int ArrayDepth(array Array)
function ArrayDepth($Array,$DepthCount=-1,$DepthArray=array()) {
$DepthCount++;
if (is_array($Array))
foreach ($Array as $Key => $Value)
$DepthArray[]=ArrayDepth($Value,$DepthCount);
else
return $DepthCount;
foreach($DepthArray as $Value)
$Depth=$Value>$Depth?$Value:$Depth;
return $Depth;
}

Short function for making a recursive array copy while cloning objects on the way.
<?php
function arrayCopy( array $array ) {
$result = array();
foreach( $array as $key => $val ) {
if( is_array( $val ) ) {
$result[$key] = arrayCopy( $val );
} elseif ( is_object( $val ) ) {
$result[$key] = clone $val;
} else {
$result[$key] = $val;
}
}

While PHP has well over three-score array functions, array_rotate is strangely missing as of PHP 5.3. Searching online offered several solutions, but the ones I found have defects such as inefficiently looping through the array or ignoring keys.
The following array_rotate() function uses array_merge and array_shift to reliably rotate an array forwards or backwards, preserving keys. If you know you can trust your $array to be an array and $shift to be between 0 and the length of your array, you can skip the function definition and use just the return expression in your code.
<?php
function array_rotate($array, $shift) {
if(!is_array($array) || !is_numeric($shift)) {
if(!is_array($array)) error_log(__FUNCTION__.' expects first argument to be array; '.gettype($array).' received.');
if(!is_numeric($shift)) error_log(__FUNCTION__.' expects second argument to be numeric; '.gettype($shift)." `$shift` received.");
return $array;
}
$shift %= count($array); //we won't try to shift more than one array length
if($shift < 0) $shift += count($array);//handle negative shifts as positive
return array_merge(array_slice($array, $shift, NULL, true), array_slice($array, 0, $shift, true));
}
?>
A few simple tests:
<?php
$array=array("foo"=>1,"bar"=>2,"baz"=>3,4,5);
print_r(array_rotate($array, 2));
print_r(array_rotate($array, -2));
print_r(array_rotate($array, count($array)));
print_r(array_rotate($array, "4"));
print_r(array_rotate($array, -9));

I was looking for an array aggregation function here and ended up writing this one.
Note: This implementation assumes that none of the fields you're aggregating on contain The '@' symbol.
<?php
function array_group_by($flds, $arr) {
$groups = array();
foreach ($arr as $rec) {
$keys = array_map(function($f) use($rec) { return $rec[$f]; }, $flds);
$k = implode('@', $keys);
if (isset($groups[$k])) {
$groups[$k][] = $rec;
} else {
$groups[$k] = array($rec);
}
}
return $groups;
}
?>

While there are a lot of array functions in the PHP libs, there also seem to be a lot of rudimentary ones missing.
I went ahead and created several of my own functions for handling multiple non-associative (na) arrays including:
na_array_merge
na_array_intersect
na_array_diff
na_array_xnor
na_array_xor
If you are using Venn diagrams to think about your arrays, then these functions might be for you.
I have made them available and posted documentation for them here: https://www.greendingle.com/some-useful-non-associative-array-functions/

Function to pretty print arrays and objects. Detects object recursion and allows setting a maximum depth. Based on arraytostring and u_print_r from the print_r function notes. Should be called like so:
<?php
egvaluetostring($value) //no max depth, or
egvaluetostring($value, $max_depth) //max depth set
function egvaluetostring($value, $max_depth, $key = NULL, $depth = 0, $refChain = array()) {
if($depth > 0)
$tab = str_repeat("\t", $depth);
$text .= $tab . ($key !== NULL ? $key . " => " : "");
if (is_array($value) || is_object($value)) {
$recursion = FALSE;
if (is_object($value)) {
foreach ($refChain as $refVal) {
if ($refVal === $value) {
$recursion = TRUE;
break;
}
}
array_push($refChain, $value);
}
$text .= (is_array($value) ? "array" : "object") . " ( ";
if ($recursion) {
$text .= "*RECURSION* ";
}
elseif (isset($max_depth) && $depth >= $max_depth) {
$text .= "*MAX DEPTH REACHED* ";
}
else {
if (!empty($value)) {
$text .= "\n";
foreach ($value as $child_key => $child_value) {
$text .= egvaluetostring($child_value, $max_depth, (is_array($value) ? "[" : "") . $child_key . (is_array($value) ? "]" : ""), $depth+1, $refChain) . ",\n";
}
$text .= "\n" . $tab;
}
}
$text .= ")";
if (is_object($value)) {
array_pop($refChain);
}
}
else {
$text .= "$value";
}
return $text;
}

to 2g4wx3:
i think better way for this is using JSON, if you have such module in your PHP. See json.org.
to convert JS array to JSON string: arr.toJSONString();
to convert JSON string to PHP array: json_decode($jsonString);
You can also stringify objects, numbers, etc.

Lately, dealing with databases, I've been finding myself needing to know if one array, $a, is a proper subset of $b.
Mathematically, this is asking (in set theory) [excuse the use of u and n instead of proper Unicode):
( A u B ) n ( ~ B )
What this does is it first limits to known values, then looks for anything outside of B but in the union of A and B (which would be those things in A which are not also in B).
If any value exists in this set, then A is NOT a proper subset of B, because a value exists in A but not in B. For A to be a proper subset, all values in A must be in B.
I'm sure this could easily be done any number of ways but this seems to work for me. It's not got a lot of error detection such as sterilizing inputs or checking input types.
// bool array_subset( array, array )
// Returns true if $a is a proper subset of $b, returns false otherwise.
function array_subset( $a, $b )
{
if( count( array_diff( array_merge($a,$b), $b)) == 0 )
return true;
else
return false;
}
