first look at my arrays
[code]
//my first array
Array
(
    [key1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Value1
            [1] => Value2
            [2] => Value3
            [3] => Value4
            [4] => Value5
            [5] => Value6
            [6] => Value7
            [7] => Value8
            [8] => Value9
        )

    [key2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Value1
            [1] => Value2
            [2] => Value3
        )

    [key3] => Array
        (
            [0] => Value2
            [1] => Value2
        )

)

//my second array

Array
(
    [key1] => Array
        (
            [6] => Value7
            [7] => Value8
            [8] => Value9
        )

    [key2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Value1
        )

    [key3] => Array
        (
            [0] => Value2
        )

)
[/code]

Now there is a way to get an array that is the result of array1 less array2? and other that is what array2 have that array1 doesn't have, using native php functions?

tks

I'm trying to use this functions but no functional results....

array_diff($array1, $array2) returns empty array

array_diff($array2, $array1) returns empty array

array_intersect($array1, $array2) returns array2

array_intersect($array2, $array1) return array1

don't know how to get array1 - array2...

you should loop through array1 and use array_diff on the second level arrays. the reason why you got empty array from array_diff is that this funciton is not recursive.

[code]
foreach($array1 as $key=>$arr)
{
  $result[$key] = array_diff($arr,$array2[$key]);
}
[/code]
